Fry in my 2 gallon!!!!!!!!!!

[StrongHandsMcGee]

Ok, I just noticed that I have several hundred fry in my 2 gallon, and I have no idea what they are or what they even could be, seeing as there is only 1 green clown goby who has been in the tank for months. Does anyone have any idea what I could try to feed them or where I can get live rotifers, etc in the Grand Rapids area? I'd like to try to find out what the heck these little guys could be and see if I can't keep them alive.

They're not fish fry,, my bet would be Mysid shrimp.

They're fry, they have eyes and they don't move anything like mysids. I know that diff between mysid and fry. And no, I can't get any pics, I don't have a digital camera. I just added a new coral a couple of days ago, my bet would be that there were eggs on the rock it was attached to.

I doubt the eggs were on there. Do you have any hermit crabs?

They also gravitate towards a flashlight when the lights are off. And no, no hermits in there. Just a green clown goby. They act like clownfish fry; I'm going to the store today to find out what fish were kept in the tank that the mushrooms came from (they were captive-propagated). In the meanwhile, they've been moved to a 2.5 gallon with a sponge filter for safe-keeping.

well that is an oddity

rub a piece of hard boiled egg yolk between your fingers in the tank.

I would like to see more about your experience.

good luck

Well, it's officially over. I wasn't expecting this, but if i had i would have actually been prepared. There were only about 3 dozen left after the first night, now they're all gone. I'll post again later with the whole ordeal. Right now I'm heading to the lfs to find out what fish were kept in the tank the shrooms were grown in.

 

[Jorge MAnuel]

Keep us informed

After visiting the lfs, I learned that the most likely candidate was a pair of orchid dottybacks.

oooh that would have been sweet
