Today I counted up my spawn fry and I only have 1 left! I hope this one lives!

What are you feeding them?

I hope it lives too!!
And we need pics!

 

[FBTgirl]

lol I feed them Frozen BBS. I found 2 more so I only have 3 and I have people ready to take them if they live. I will try to get pics soon.

I just ordered a live BBS hatchery and it should be here by Friday. After that I will be feeding live BBS

Sorry hope this isn't patronizing, you do defrost your bbs well before feeding don't you?
Undefrosted frozen food can sometimes pierce the stomachs, particularly of young fish with ice crystals....
Back in the day (old school 8) ) fish keepers fed anabantoid fry with mushed up hard boiled egg yolk with varying degrees of success.

Good, live food is really good for fry.
Although, I hear first spawns often don't get many fry living...

 

[FBTgirl]

Ya me too. But I am hoping these 3 will live. -germ- I do not defrost before feeding.

Tomorrow I am stirring up the water more to see if there where any fry I missed.

 

[-germ-]

Make sure you do!
It could be this killing off your fry....
sorry

It is weak and it is not that frozen and melts away fast when I feed it to them so I do not think it is much a problem but I will defrost next time OK

I was taught to defrost frozen foods always before feeding to any fish.
