Stocking ideas for a non-standard 55gallon

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Today i noticed the eggs where gone.
So i tought, oh well at least they tried.
But they dug a hole and a brunch of fry are there. When do i start feeding the fry? I have live baby brine shrimp. Do i just feed the whole aquarium or try target feeding?
 
Target feed with a pipette an eye dropper or a turkey baster you’ll see the fry rise up out of the pit in the next few days. that’s when it’s time. That’s your signal that they are free swimming, and free swimming = need food
 
Update,
I took about 20 Fry out of the main tank.
They are doing great, eating brine shrimp 4x a Day.
The rest of the fry in my community tank went missing 2days later.
So im glad i removed some.
The male never really fended for the fry(or the female just chased him away), the female couldnt handle the care alone i think.

It takes a few times to get it perfect. Glad you got some out!
