Fry Update


Im sorry I havent been posting much, but my little fry are not doing too well, first we had a tank disaster in which a whole box of aquarium salt spilled into the tank, I had to do a premature change though I had no choice. I found out I had 220 fry!! For the first day after the incident, they seemed okay. But I noticed that they fry were dropping one by one during the early morning of the second day, now I only have three left. As sad as it is, im trying my hardest to keep them okay. They were already at the all eyes stage and were eating Brine shrimp. Well I wouldn't say that this was a failure. But things happen that are not in our control. I am now trying to save them. doing what I can, changing their water and feeding them, watching for any changes. Not everyone is successful on their first try, but lessons are learned as we now understand.
I currently have the three remaining fry in a 10 gallon tank and I did a complete scrubdown on the 20 gallon fry tank. I already have it set up for a new spawning pair. I will continue to update on the remaining fry. But I will also start a new blog on the new pair. keep checking back for more updates.
