My Jaguars

[Andri Pogo]

All going well with the eggs, unfortunatly some have fungus but some have started to move.

I took two videos of the tank:





and one from feeding time:

So now there are around 50 small fry with the parents, not free-swimming yet though.
How good are the jags as parents? Should i let them take care of the fry or put them in another tank when they get a little bigger?

The Jaguars are now alone in the tank with the fry, i moved the buttikoferi´s so they wouldnt get killed.

approx. how long does it take them to get 1" ?
The fry are ~100+, should i expect the number going down ?
Im thinking of keeping the fry with the parents until they are around the 1" mark and then moving them to another tank. Should i maybe take them away sooner, or later ?
And finally, what is the best food for the fry?

If you take the fry. Gefðu þeim lifand artemíu, bruggar þetta bara í kókflösku.
I would try too get 20 first just to be safe. If the parents blow it, You will have more fry in couple weeks!

i removed all the fry from the parents yesterday, around 60.
Was hoping to get them to grow quickly and to get the parents to breed again...

Then i noticed 5-10 fry more with the parents today, seems that they were hiding yesterday

Would the pair normally just go right ahead and breed again if all fry is removed ?
