my jag fry

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
after reading some other replies on here, im gonna try google and the search to answer my questions. i dont want to annoy anybody with stupid repetitive questions. if anybody read this and thought, " why didnt they use the search?", im sorry, and ill give it a try. still, experienced suggestions and thoughts are welcome.
 
neat-0 you can just leave them with the parents, jags are usually pretty good parents. just feed lots of little crushed up flakes or hatch brine shrimp and the babies will get em as they swirl around the tank
 
Leave them with the parents. If your tank is well established the fry will graze through the algea growing on the surfaces. Feed baby brine shrimp, crushed flakes and pellets crushed into a powder. When doing regular WCs I put a mesh filter bag over the hose so I don't suck up the fry. You might want to do this to your filter intakes until the fry are big enough not to get sucked into the filter. Jags are good parents just feed the fry about 4 times a day you should be fine.
 
thanks for all the info. currently im growing my own brine shrimp, crushing up pellets into powder, and feeding the first bites from hikari.
 
Congrats...if you intend to raise any you better get them out of the tank before the pair are ready to breed again. The parents will eat them before dropping more eggs.
 
I got some half inch Jags of a friend and they ate sinking granular food once i'd crushed it up a bit strait away and now the largest is about 3 inch and eating earth worms. by accident but he likes em
