Horrible news. First spawn ever, I had over 250 fry, now only 5-10.
Why? Because I turn the heater off when I clean the tank (I have burnt my hands a few times) and silly enough to forget to turn it back on. They are 2wk today, so I surived (if you can call it that) the worst. Hopefully the remainers will surrive, and I'll get a few males (I can breed back to the mum, dad died though.)- Show previous comments 4 more

Thanks. At the moment they seem to enjoy bits of infusoria, but I also feed bloodworms, brine shrimp, I had mozzie wrigglers, but the culture got destroyed, so I have buckets out in the backyard waiting for more.. oh, and I put in some ground pellets (now a fine powder) and since they are very competitive for their feed, they sometimes nibble on it, but I don't feed that much.

hopefully the rest will grow up fine and you get a few boys!
