Well they hatched! I will get the bbs culture going today. So just curious, my reading says that it takes about 5 days for the fry to become free swimming... Should i really be starting my bbs culture now? It only takes about 24 hours for the bbs to hatch. Just a thought...

no..do not start yet..normally bbs take about 24 hours to hatch at approx. 78-80 degrees...20 or so hours after that they are almost worthless unless you are feeding them to grow out..
watch the fry...as soon as you see them starting to swim start you bbs...if they are up and about before the shrimp hatch then feed the dry foods....get a test tube and a magnifying glass to make sure the bbs hatched...

My pair always eats their eggs for some reason  they have spawned multiple times, so this time i pulled them... I'll put some pictures up when they are free swimming.

Hey everyone! Sorry i have been off and not updating! I have been a little busy the past two weeks with seeing family and such, and I am also now engaged!
As for the Fry they seem to be doing good, i can see them getting bigger and can not wait until they are able to take fish flakes or frozen foods. Going to be trying to see if they will eat it in the next couple of days. I wish i could tell you all how many i have but there are too many to count. It is fun to watch them all though. They seem to enjoy schooling together and making a lap around the tank before dispersing for a little bit. I'm super excited and i hope to be able to be on here more often now that some of the craziness is over!

I have spawned GBRs four times (but the parents ate the fry). I DID get at least one spawn through the first week, however, and they LOVED Hikari first bites.

Well fry are still doing well, really starting to have some shape to them. Also, Rams spawned again! I'm leaving this one in the tank though and seeing if they will get anywhere with this batch by themselves... Make my life a little easier... for the moment at least...

Hey school started this week for me and I haven't been able to jump on here! My fry are doing well, getting bigger! The spawn i mentioned got eaten once again... I believe my female eats them which is frustrating... I'll have to keep a close eye out around spawn time to really catch the culprit...
ZebraDanio12: How are your fry doing? I hope well!
