My black widows laid eggs in my 10g before i transfered them to my 55g. Now there are about 10 fry in my 10g!!!! What should i do??? :hang:
 
I already transfered the parents, its just i dont know how to take care of the babies!
 
its not hard, feed them crushed up flakes and to partial water changes every 2-3 days
 
you probably want to cover the filter intake so they don't get sucked into it. Some pantyhose, a filter media bag, or a filter sponge fulfill this purpose well. Likewise, when doing water changes, you might find it helpful to cover the siphon opening with pantyhose to prevent them from being sucked in. Or you could siphon into a bucket and net out any fry that do get sucked up, instead of using a Python which would send them straight down the drain.
 
if they got sucked up by it, yes.
 
Ok i hope this goes well....thanks
