Hi Ingrid
Yes the water is green & so far they seem to have grown ?maybe the tiniest
bit, they are SO small it's hard to tell.
I don't have a UV, they are just in the small backyard pond.
There doesn't seem to be any large life in there such as mosquitoes or any
other life forms.
So when do I need to start feeding them & what should it be?
Thanks

Pat

typically fry thrive on "green water". so turn off your UV and let the
water green
up a bit. no need to feed them unless you are hatching out daphnia,
mosquitoes or
blood worms. Ingrid

Hi
My Fantails spawned in the potted weeds. I moved the pots to a section of
the pond that has no other fish in it, & a number of babies have hatched
a
week ago.
They seem to be doing OK but I am wondering if /when/what I should be
doing
about feeding them.
Can they survive on the mico-organisms in the pond water & if so for how
long?
Thanks for any response
Pat
