well i've just got into breeding neon rainbowfish and have set up a 24"x 12" tank and the eggs have been in there for the most part of 7 days relatively succesfully, now i think they've hatched and are hiding in the spawning mop but i cant see 'em at all! i only have a small sponge filter and an airstone in there so i dont think they've been sucked in to the filter:/ any suggestions?
 
They are extremely tiny. I've had many spawns. Look at the water surface, that is where they swim. They look like pepper specks. You will need to feed baby brine shrimp or hikari first bites. They also eat the film from the surface of live plants and algae when they are tiny.
 
thanks mate iv noticed them now and got em on first bites:D
only 15 or so in there im gonna have to try harder next spawn:P
