I would be happy if 10 of them made it. Keep trying. You will have more chances. I hear this is a learning process. Best of luck to you.

What is the salinity of the fry tank?

 

[kronan]

I have a maxiejet that runs out of my sump to the fry tank , I drilled the fry tank for an overflow and just circulate water from the main tank into the fry tank and then the overflow goes back into the sump (1.0225 to 1.0230)

I've had better success with lowering the salinity to 1.20 - just a thought!

Kronan, Don't worry some will make it. There will be lots more large nest. I was afaid it might be a saddle thing. I tried lots of things but never got alot of babies from each nest. But if they keep spawning you will get it. You are one of only a few people to do this fish. Take comfort in that and you will be able to sell them at a good price. Be sure to keep green water with the rots in their tank and keep vitamins in when they switch to baby brine. Please keep us posted. You are lucky to have this pair. Also my sucess was better with each nest. So it should get alittle better. I wish I could be more help and more certain of things. You are the only other person I have known to breed this one.

OK..we are down to about 30 fry, which is about 10%, they seem to be ok? I am still feeding live rotifers..

All fry have died.. I will try again, the female is swollen again with eggs..hopefully in 2 wks.

Hey kronan, can you post those pics showing the progression? I was reading through this list of postings and was hoping for a better outcome, but I wish you the best of luck in the upcoming batch of fry. Let us know how it goes. I have 1 true perc, and I am looking for a mate, so hoping for similar stories.

What kind of rock were the eggs laid on if you dont mind me asking...

thanks and best of luck!!!!
