Eggs! I finally got some cherry barb eggs! Granted I never tried to breed them outside the community tank till now... Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you guys because I am sooo excited!!! I will post pics later of the babies hatching, plus tank specs. Any suggestions are welcome, as I have done research, but that does not compare to experience. Ps- I am sorry if this is the wrong thread, I could not find a breeding one.

I am trying to culture infusoria at the moment, it looks like it might not be working. I also have some pulverized flakes, and hopefully the leaf litter and sponge will at least feed them a little.

A few fry clinging to the glass... Srry for bad pics, water is really stained. Theyre not free swimming yet, but the infusoria isnt working so is there anything i can do? Theres a ton of little creatures in the tank breeding and they look almost like the right size.

They don't really eat until they are free swimming so I wouldn't worry about it. If they are still clinging to the glass and other surfaces their yoke sac is still sustaining them. Live food sources is good to have in the tank ready but don't feed anything else until they are free swimming.

I havent fed yet, i just mean the infusoria culture doesnt look like it is working. They are starting to swim a little, but i wont feed till tomorrow or the next day. What should I feed in place of the infusoria?

Fry are free swimming! I am using the infusoria even though it doesnt look like it cultured and I tried a little crushed flake.

In the future, have a mystery snail in with them. The slime trail they produce is a great source of infusoria, and the snail will help clean up uneaten foods.
