Fry tank

[willywonka099]

Wel i finally got my fry tank set up !!!! 10 gal. heater will be set at 80-82 F. gravel and water from main will be added in two days to give water time to dechlorinate .......(hope fry will b ok in breeder for that much longer) ...... I was thinking of adding some corys (albino prbly) or ottos or could i do both .... there are 15 sailfin molly fry so they will get big r about 4 days old and already bout 1/4 of a inch i can get panda skunk aenus or albino corys for sure ... I would like to get a trio to hopefully spawn and also just some bottom feeder to get the food ..... the skunk and panda cost the most and ar the smallest (i think) albino i think i xcan get the best deal on but they do get bigger but no waste ...... im leaning more towards corys than ottos i have wanted corys for a while now .... what are the best to spawn in any tank ...??? what would be the best for a ten gallon ??? any advice would be greatful i will post more questons later

Best thing for fery tanks is pond snails. They are free (find them in the wild, get them free from LFS's). They are good cleaners. But in either case cories or snails they both don't like salt of anykind. So if you use them that means no salt for the fry. But if planing on saleing these fish might be better if you didn't salt them anyway.

Yea but i kind of wanted the corys to do some spawning eventually .....
