And look how much they've grown since yesterday.

Jeanne

I have yet to see these fry as wigglers on the bottom, seems they go right from hatch to free swimmers.

Jeanne

Eggs are already hatching.
Jeanne

Pulled eggs from 5-17-23 spawn and I got every one of them.
And I still have all 3 fry from 5-10-23 spawn.

Jeanne

What were these fish fed at the shop as compared to what you are feeding?

Jeanne

Jeanne

Do you feed all of your fish the same foods or are there foods that you only feed to the subvirius.

Jeanne

Awesome. They are really prolific! How many babies do you have now? Cheers, Eric From the first 4 spawns twice I counted 24, this last spawn I only managed to salvage 3 as they hatched when I pulled the tube and the guppies immediately snatched them up, so hoping the spawn I have now will work out ...

Right on schedule Jeanne

10 gallon tank housing 3 adults, each 1" long Don't know what your doing for a trigger, but you seem to have that down pat with 3 spawns, but fertilization sounds like the problem do you think that lowering the water level would concentrate the fertilization process, so in other words apply yo...

Eric what size tank do you have these in and how many fish.

Jeanne

Another spawn
Jeanne

Pulled the eggs today
eggs hatched almost immediately when I placed them in breeder box. I'm shooting for 100% survival rate.

Jeanne

Had a spawn on 4-2-23 did not get a chance to pull eggs, I thought they ate them but now I'm finding fry.

Could also be velvet.

Forgot the video will make sure to do tonight.

Had a double spawn late last night 20230503_053456.jpg All 3 cleaning spawning sight 20230405_201457.jpg Clutch of eggs from first female, all have left to feed. 20230503_083908.jpg 2nd. female and male return and second clutch is deposited.

All pictures are gone.

We returned to the same spot off the Nanay this afternoon. Hugely successful... but you'll have to wait till at least tomorrow for pictures. Among today's catch: one big Limatulichthys griseus (also about 8-10 cm SL) and 2 or 3 smaller individuals. Wow, did I underestimate this! 15.06 cm SL! Eric w...

Hello, I have a colony of wild L333. In the last few days the fish seem to be coming up to the glass and not hanging in the caves like they usually do. There is no sign of any inch or anything on them. Water parameters are good and I did a 50 percent water change and still the same activity. Has an...

These are 6 young Sturisomatichthys that are housed in a 125gal. tank the breeder box I am using is a Ista large breeder box.

Another spawn 4-05-23 20230405_201457.jpg 15 day old fry from 3-20-23 spawn 20230409_084717.jpg 20230409_084731.jpg I have changed up my food a bit and, I am running the lift tube in the breeder box along with an air stone and also changing the water in the breeder box twice a day. 7 day old fry fro...

Nice tank, and I'm thinking that there is too much competition for food and the fry are losing the battle, is there a way you can suction the fry out and put them in a breeder box?

Jeanne

Day 5 of eggs, took what eggs I could from lift tube today. Day 8 of fry, suffered great loss last night with fry and I think it's because I did not have the lift tube in breeder box, just an air stone and even with water changes the air stone alone does not get it so I found the smallest grate I co...

bekateen wrote: ↑01 Apr 2023, 18:34 What are you feeding the babies?

It's a homemade powdered mix, I call it Jean-ashy, it contains powered blackworm, daphnia, rotifers, cyclops, tubifex, spirulina, and chlorella.

Jeanne

Adding a sloppy false floor on the front 1/3 of the tank under the spawning mop and potted plant: Two layers of ceiling light egg crate, one placed atop the other, and the bottom layer has a fine mesh net tied to it. Let's see if this improves egg recovery on the next spawn. :YMPRAY: Cheers, Eric H...

Day 4 of eggs Day 7 of fry Changed my approach a bit changing water in breeder box in evening and then feeding.
Still 24 fry.

Jeanne

Day 3 of eggs Day 6 of fry Jeanne

Day 2 of eggs I just fed and male took a break to have breakfast.. Still 24

Jeanne

More eggs, on the exact same lift tube Still have 24 fry Jeanne
