cheers all,
I dont have any filter or water movement in there at all, thats why i change the water every day (water is taken from the breeding tank with 100% change – i gently syphon out 50%, top it back up again, then syphon another 50% before topping back to full so i dont disturb the fry too much). I have got a net breeding thingy to go into the main tank but i wanted the fry to be a little bit bigger before they went in there, as i found with my pencilfish fry that they survived only after they had been free swimming for a few days first.
Ill try the feed before water change method though – makes sense, and after about a week ill put them into the net breeder i think – give that ago!
many thanks
i think that might be why as there will be no bacteria (i might be wrong)
i would put it straight into the breeding net as it will have more chances of living in my opinion
