*** need help with picasso fry***

[BIG_KAHUNA]

im just getting into the breeding here so take my advice with a grain of salt but if white does mean fungus then its possible they're not aerated well enough. possibly cause by the transfer as well. Ive found a couple methods for the transfer some say air exposure is ok, others say no way. half the fry hatching (assuming half dont hatch then turn white) could be from light exposure, even a flashlight etc. not sure but hope it helps.

My baby clowns don't want to take any frozen food or dry food how do I get them to eat the other food.??

 

[Reef*freak]

Bump

I wouldn't feed any frozen food at this age. What dry food are you trying to feed?

 

[vwwanksta69]

are you using tdo as your food source from reef nutrition at this point?

 

[Reef*freak]

Aim feeding frozen cyclops and dry cyclops

So Now my other problem is....On the 8TH DAY i TRANFER the FRY into A 10 gallon tank and some FRY hatches on day 9 others day 10 but the remaining (About HALF) turns white and never hatches. iS that normal ??

most likely by days 9 and 10 the larvae have eaten their yolk sac and are now starving. the should hatch on day 7 or 8. also by feeding the parents better it should increase the clutch size.


what temp are you keeping your broodstock tank at?

Aim keeping my tank at 78

by increasing the temp to like 82-83 it will shortan your days to 7 or 8 and all should hatch. and make sure you have rots already in the tank or add them to it. and keep the lights on a few hours after all have hatched.

Do you have the parents in their own tank or in a reef? If in their own tank then bump up the temp to 81-82. Warmer temps are suppose to help with breeding. Good Luck.

I got them in my DP tank so I can't bump the temp
