It finally happened!!!
After I moved all my fish including the danios into the new 20-gallon tank, I had left the old 5-gallon still going. I wasn’t expecting any eggs in there at all, there was a lot of string algae and detritus and snails, I was just planning on using it for brine shrimp later, but just today, when I happened to be looking at it, I noticed the babies!!! I recognized them as Celestial Pearl Danio fry thanks to the photos that have been posted in this forum.
So I’ve got to get my brine shrimp going quickly now.
This is going to be tricky because I’m leaving the country for a month in 2 weeks. Does anybody know how big they’ll get in 2 weeks? I’ll move it over the community tank where they’ll be “taken care of”, if they can get big enough.
Yay, finally!!!
By the way, when I checked the water temperature it was at 26°C.
well done
however in 2 weeks i diont think they will get much bigger
ive had mine for about 1-2 weeks and they havent double in size!
its hard as you dont get anything like liquidfry (drops from a bottle that they feed on)?
good luck
chris
Congrats!
I don’t know how big they will be in two weeks, but if they can’t go into the community tank yet, maybe you can get some daphnia or something else going that will live for a while in the tank. Why couldn’t they be taken care of in the tank they are in now?
Good luck with them!!
Congratulations! As for feeding them, how about microworms? At least after the first week or so. How many have you got?
KYeah, I’ve explored all these live food options, but I just don’t know where to get them locally to cultivate them, other than brine shrimp, which I hatched yesterday, but apparently are still too big for them to eat.
Don’t know anyone experienced enough with these things to take care of my fish. The other (community) tank is “self-sustaining”, complete with timed lighting, auto-feeder and I’m monitoring it via webcam. It’s too big to move elsewhere for babysitting so I’m hoping it’ll hold out for a month. If there’s any emergency as observed thru webcam, I’ll let the landlord know and he can help. Hoping that the fry will get big enough for me to move them to that tank, but maybe not…
Saw 4 at one point, but now I can only spot 2-3.
So maybe I’ll leave them in the small tank, it’s also got timed lighting… there’s lots of algae and snails in there, maybe there’ll be enough infusoria to keep them alive for a month… or, is there anyone here willing to babysit them, who’s in the Toronto area?
found a website on how to make liquid fry food
i know its for cichlid’s but i assume its will be good for all fish (this was one of the first results that came from google fo me)
