How do you stop the fry that swim into the fry section being able to go back out?

– Atlantis Child

I cant till there big enough?!?
but for some reason they all stay in that side ?
maybe its the slight current in the water?
when I got the divider I didnt realizt the holes would be that big (or the fry would be that small LOL)
but for now its working well (fingers crossed)
:roll:

Bit fiddly but the best way is to mix the liqui fry with a bit of tank water in a cup, use a syringe or pipete and mix it well, then just squirt it into your tank.

Thanks. Have tried it this way and is much better – no film on the top of the water. Cheers guys.

And of course, congrads for getting fry!

Thanks and oh “HOW”

well I just drop a drop or two from a few mm above the water and let it fizz on top of the water! it stays pretty still and in the right area for the fry!
so I hope this is ok?

my breeding tank was about 25 liters, so 50 liters is good enough, i think you can better have more females than males in your breeding tank, and put a lot of javamoss in it for the eggs and fry, and when you’ve fry it’s better to take them out or use the divider.

Thats the plan then thanks

[symmo]

We’ll be keeping all our CPDs together in the one tank. How does 10 sound? 7F 3M, or 6F 4M, or 5 of each? Do you think thats enough for a 50L tank, or should we use the divider from the beginning so they’re a little more ‘cozy’!? :wink:

Symmo

[symmo]

Thanks thats good news…
I have ordered lots of java moss to and some tall plants so the tank should be well planted by the time the fish go in!!

Im now in 2 minds about the shrimps I dont want them to eat the eggs but not sure wot to put in to control the algae maybe an otto or 2 ?
