Okay, so as the title states, my puffers mated, laid eggs and they hatched... but because this all happened so quickly, and the fact that i was very under prepared led to a total loss of all the fry i had saved...

So i was just wondering if any one would possibly have any advice for me since i think my female palembang puffer maybe pregnant again??? (although i;m hoping shes just bloated or else i dunno what to do :shakehead)

As for the Setup, i had the fry in a tank that held about 15L of water (no space for another tank) using water from main tank, with a HOB filter and air stone with Temp of 28C. Feeding consisted 2/3 feedings a day of only Frozen Brine Shrimp babies that were 0 days old, since the brine shrimp eggs i got i think went bad or something and never hatched :swear:

Also, any ideas / thoughts why the fry could have all died??? i'm guessing i could have been under feeding or temp might have been too hot but those are just guess so any ideas / advice would be much appreciated incase i have to tackle this situation again :nilly:
 
You can breed puffers in captivity? That is awesome.

Sorry that I can't help you; best of luck, though!
