Got some fry!
 


I have some fry that seem to be surviving!! I stripped my red zebra last
night, I thought she was
holding only 1 or two fry, I was mainly stripping her so she could eat
again, she'd been holding for nearly 4 weeks. turns out, to my suprise, 10
little orange fry swam out of her mouth!! I'm pleased as punch. last lot of
fry I stripped from my two Eureka red females died from the tank being only
99% cycled (traces of nitrite 0.5ppm), these guys are in a basket in the
main tank, everything ok so far, I need to go buy some brine shrimp eggs now
to feed.

I tried to feed some crushed flake today, and a little crushed dried brine
shrimp, they didn't eat it immediately. hopefully they will get hungary this
afternoon.

Congrats Paul.. I don't strip my fish.. I have a 10g tank waiting to go..

Although, this month looks like I am going to need a few more.. I have an
Electric Yellow, at least one of the Kenyi, and pair of Electric blues
holding..And I am still swampped with fry...
