Well, my johanni finally produced.. after much serious posturing and arguments.
This means I`ve got over 30 fry now in my fry tank and they are all thriving.
They get a batch of newly hatched brine shrimp every other day, with crushed flake in between.
The first batch since I got started - about 1.5cm are able to get stuck into spirula tabs now no problem.
I don't have a bunch of tanks for different fry ages, so some will need brine shrimp and others are more advanced diets. I have used egg based fry food for very young fry. I hope to sell the fish on to contribute to costs, so anyone who keeps and raises the young - how should I proceed?
At this rate, I`ll be overrun with fry before they are sellable size :)
I haven't lost one yet, and they seem really hardy. I considered moving the bigger ones to the main tank when they reach say, 2cm or 2.5cm maybe?
