Hi bros,

My pair of Monoculus seems like been cleaning the rock and seems like they are going to lay eggs anytime...
Jus a question, what to feed the fries (daphnia?) and feeding should start on which day (day 10?)...

Hope bros with experience can help :)
 
Once they lay their eggs they will hatch around 60 hours later. From there they will be ready to feed in a couple of days. Feed daphnia and new born brine shrimp. For me the hardest part is getting the fry to the stage of taking that first meal. Good luck and post some pics!
