Hi Jimbob
Some of the problems Ive had is the fry attaching to the parents which I solved by surrounding
the tank with White paper, the other is they get to 6 weeks and they start dying off in great numbers
this could be due to flukes and other parasites, Ive treated them with medication the first time but
it didnt work and some how they still died off.
This time I kept the parents with them for 7 weeks still together in the same tank
but Water Quality is essential but with family and job commitments this is not always possible.
Im hoping they pull through and have some left ,its definitley a full time job...
My experience with this strain so far is that they aren't so resilient as some other strains
and are a little bit more difficult to raise. Im still learning with each batch but the parents are very
attentive and patient. I also stay away from feeding blood worms at an early stage and feed fry pellets
which are very small and beef heart , I tried using baby brine shrimp but found with the first batch that unless you remove
all the unhatched and hatched brine shrimp shells, they can block the frys stomachs and cause issues.
