My poor little babies. :cry: Somethings gone terribly wrong, I popped out this morning and when I got back, all bar 2 little fry are dead. I checked my water stats which are as always, but then I noticed the water felt a little warm and double checked the temp, which had shot up from 24-30C So I’ve removed the surviving galaxy fry and killie fry. Binned the heater and sat down and cryed! (I know really pathetic)
I can only assume that the rapid rise in temperature is the cause as I can’t find anything else that’s different, and they were all still so tiny, I shouldn’t think they could cope with such a change.On a more positive note, I don’t need to rehome my betta as I picked up a small spawning tank for £10, now I just need to sort out a new heater for my fry tank and a small heater for the spawning tank, and start all over again.
*Sigh*Aww, I’m sorry to hear that!
Don’t fret though- now that they are breeding I’m sure they will give you lots more fry. And now you have a new tank to worry about!
What a lucky betta!unlucky
the same happend to my baby guppies (the first fish i breed when i was about 14)
the heater was all i could point the finger at. the heater must of got stuck on as the water was really hot!
good luck with the remaining fry
