REALLY hope that I dont jinks myself, but I think I have cracked the code on how to raise T.Intermedia fry at higher % rates. Probably got 95% hatch rate and now at 2 weeks have 95% survival!
Key seems to be taking very fine powdered food and mixing it into the water along with microworms. In the past I just sprinkled it on the top and did not mix it in. Also lots of water changes just by raising and lowering the breeder box a few times a day.
I have to travel for work for 2 days next week so hoping that they will be big enough to be able to stand that at 3 weeks of age.
Not sure what Im going to do with all of them if they all survive!
Too Many Tanks... Too Many fish... not enough time!!!
