Hi all, my geos have succesfully layed a huge batch of fertile eggs. The tank has been split to protect them and the mother is with the clutch. The eggs started to hatch yesterday and now are a mass of riggiling fry. I have read that i should feed them when they start to "free Swim". I hope i time this right as not to loose to many. I have started a batch of brine shrimp that have also hatched this morning, could anyone tell me how long before the free swimming fase starts? As i would like to time the hatching of shrimp to coincide.
The next two pics are of the last batch that dissapeared over night, the new batch[not gremlins, geophagus] is about three to four times the size of this one.
the new batch is under the mother
This is the unhappy father bruce springstein, I would love to reunite them but dont want to cause a panic in the tank and he is very fast!
Any advice from experienced aquarists would be greatly appreciated? Thanks to all chatroom dwellers for there help and advice over the last 6months. Your all a priceless resource!
I couldnt resist dropping in a pic of my beatiful surnimensis. As ever impossible to photograph!
