Thankyou for the advice, also on the sizes of the firemouths I am not sure on the ages of them both but I believe they are both young, one Firemouth is quite a bit bigger than the other but not sure if it’s because one is older.

Thankyou, and I’ll just keep an eye on them to see if anything else happens

.

I’ve had a pair of firemouths for about a month now and I’m not sure if hey are males or females, over the past few days I have noticed their colours brighten up and they have started going side by side and flaring up and swimming in a circle together, they don’t go to attack eachother though...

Ok Thankyou for the help, I have had a closer look and saw some wrigglers so I’ll keep and eye out for when they start swimming.

I have noticed today that the acaras have moved the eggs into a new pit that it behind a rock at the back of the tank, I can’t see the eggs but the male and female are still taking it in turns guarding the area, due to the fact I can’t see them, how would I go about knowing when to feed them as...

From what I’ve read online it says I should use daphnia, also it was my LFS that suggested both daphnia and tubifex but I’ve read that I might have to get the tubifex into smaller pieces

I have picked up some tubifex and frozen daphnia, what is the best way of feeding them directly to the fry without other fish eating it all if they are kept in the community tank?

I still haven’t seen any aggresssion, the acaras will just give a little chase when they come right next to the eggs but other than that they’re fine, I’ll be going out to get all the stuff needed today and tomorrow, thanks for the advice

There is a tank I can pick up tomorrow, but I can wait to pick it up if there is no need, I’ll see when I go and collect the food tomorrow, thanks.

So when possible is it best to move the fry to a separate tank or will the acaras carry on with their aggression?

Yeah I’ve read up about that, at the moment the acaras don’t seem aggressive, just taking it in turns looking after the eggs, do you know if it’s likely the acaras will get more aggressive as the fry hatch?
