[Retzius]

Congrats embryoguy you must be really thrilled. I too hope to breed mine someday. Good luck with the whole process. Im sure it will be a success b/c you seem very committed.

 

[j2me5ku]

any updates on the fry? i hope they're all getting strong

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

sorry to say but, ive lost around 100 this morning

they were all swimming strong late last night. i think i will keep an ambient light on 24hrs with the next batch. im down to about 150.

 

[j2me5ku]

awww man...that must be tough losing so many. i cant even handle losing 1 fish...hang in there

 

[GSMguy]

well im sorry to hear that but 150 aint bad i would expect to lose more than you want to

 

[FiberLux]

Huey, Keep your chin up..... And call Rod!

[natep206]

nate :beer:

 

[GSMguy]

well put nate just hope that you lose less everyday until you dont lose any

With the next batch try running the lights for the first 48 hours and keep the water green with fresh phyto. Keep rotifers available, but not to many or they will over eat.

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

frog , thanks for advise. im going to do that exactly. thats kinda what i learned from this first time around. i started a live phyto culture to get ready for next batch. i tried using Instant algae and i think that was the variable for the demise.

but as of late day 3, i have about 50 strong. curled tail with eating motion again so i feel better at this point. im more hopeful.

 

[GSMguy]

great

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

to my surprise, spawn #3 came a day earlier than #2.

this batch looks like around 500-600.

update on #2. i have about 30 that appear to be in good shape. eating well.

12/16/06 Spawn #3

A Day earlier than spawn 2.

8:00pm

i will definetly do things differently with this #3. hopefully will result in a higher yield.
