I been lining up Ziss breeder boxes on my tanks now with 2 batches of fry in each basket so about 100 babies in each breeder box.
I have a few grow out tanks now with 6-8 month olds I wondering how long 100 can stay in the box
Any advice moving forward I'm feeling overwhelmed with babies

Re: Wigglers mixed with fry
Does everyone have better luck raising the fry in ziss breeder boxes or letting loose in a smaller growout tank?
My plan was to have a 50 gallon grow out tank and divide it into 3 by fry size with matala pads!

Wow thanks so much!That would be a female Apteronotus bonapartii.
So the male has the much larger snout but not as large of a snout as a male hasenami?

Anyone know anything about knifes. It's from Peru and 10"+.
Wondering if this is the bonaparti or Hasemi?
Or something else.

Re: Baby plecos & heaters
Hi Eric I also use the fluval E series in all my tanks.
I was just thinking the slots in the guard seem big enough for babies to get thru
I been letting babies grow up in tanks after about 1" but sometimes very small babies escape. Non seem to get burned by the E fluvals!

Can I add newly hatched baby l397 plecos to 2-3 week old l397 babies.
Just wondering if the larger ones would see the yolk sac as a source of food

Re: L397 batch of eggs
I was wondering can I add newly hatched fry to the same container as fry that are 2 weeks old.
So far so good just wonder if the 2 week fry would try and eat the yolk sac from the babies.

Re: L397 batch of eggs
Hi Eric on feeding the babies I been keeping wood and moss and almond leaves in there because I heard they eat before the yolk is dissolved?
