Dwarf Puffer Fry

[Esfa]

omgggg!

i just moved a bit of my java moss and all these things darted out... i was like.

then i realised they were DP fry! So i scooped as much up as i could and they're in a breeding trap. I have about 12 and they're about this size: - maybe a bit smaller!

Totally didn't expect this... i have nothing to feed them! what should i try?

I feed mine microworms. I think even baby brineshrimps are too big but I don't know since I've never used any.

Congrats

Fingers crossed

eew well 3 are dead

i have 3 left, none of them look too good. one is swimming now and again but the other two are on the floor, hardly moving. they're not gasping though... no other signs of illness, apart from lying on the floor.

what could be wrong?

Oh my! I don't really know what to suggest. Are they eating? What set up have you got them in? Is it the breeding trap still?
