Hi all

I've got two 4 day old fry attached to dad loving life - but they won't touch bbs - live or frozen. How long does it normally take before they will chase it down ?

Also how long should the fry be left with dad. The reason I ask if I've got another pair with a big spawn due to hatch tomorrow - but they suck at being parents in that they look after the eggs fine, but as soon as they start wriggling it becomes snack attack time, so was hoping to use dad as a surrogate parent, but have read he will most likely eat the other fry ?

Or should I just let nature take it's course & leave him with his two fry and see what happens with the rest.

Thanks all.

Dave
