Peacock fry

[hydro4892]

I just stripped my female peacock and I am just wondering what to feed my fry and how often. Any other tips on how to keep fry alive? Thanks.

No idea...but I will meet you in Milwaukee for some fish?

Peacock fry tend to be fairly big so you can feed them NLS Growth, Crushed flakes, or BBS right off the bat.

Keep them seperated from other fishes so they won't get eatin'
Keep the water temperature around lower to mid 80's. (If someone begs to differ then by all means )
Keep water clean. Syphon out the poo twice a week.
Feed 4/5 times a day
And big tank space for maximum growth. (Not too big just yet or else they won't be able to find the food)

Do all those and they'll be big in no time!!

Still wanting to know what you plan on doing with the fry.

Maybe sell them at a fish swap or try to sell them to stores for store credit/cash.
