free swimmers!!!!!

[theemon]

well this pairs 1st spawn and they raised them to free swimming... and guess what, it looks like the half thats allready free swimming are eating decapped brine shrimp. i also got brine shrimp hatching(just did it-so 24hr wait)

question, how do i get the food more tward the fry? i put it ontop the fry but it spread everywhere.

also when do the free swimmers become indepenant enough to get them away from the parents?

anything else i should know?

go to http://www.kensfish.com/kensspecialtyfood.html and order some Golden Pearls. It is far more nutritious than brine shrimp and its shape keeps it in the water column simulating brine shrimp movement.

Congrats on the fry. Once they are free swimming you can separate them from the parents. A lot of angels will only bother with the fry for a couple weeks before they get interested in spawning again and eat them.

Are these angels or discus? You can pre-soak the eggs in some tank water for a minute or two and the will slowly sink instead of sit on the surface. For baby discus I will have to disagree with Pete and I believe BBS is better at first. Can't comment about angels.

congrats

syringe or turkey baster.

agree with Mg, use either of those tools to squirt the food near the fry in the tank.

Congrats theemon!! What did you end up doing?

I have used the Kens fish golden pearls just fine for baby angels. Soak them first and then squirt the food near where the babies are hanging out. They'll find it!
