[grahamsokel]

I feed my pair of Kribs live food at least 4 times a week and when they have babies i feed brine shrimp aswell

 

[samxx]

oh do you
do the fry have to have live food

 

[Ben]

all fry SHOULD have live food, it helps them grow properly, so unless you cant supply them with live food, i suggest you put off breeding for a while.

[samxx]

oh right
but BN plecs do not
do they


i think i might be apply to get live food but is there anything else that Kribs fry need

 

[harryman]

BN plecs dont breed easy try paradice fish

Bristlenoses do breed easy actually. You could try a species of shelldwelling cichlid but those require a more specialized habitat and are strictly species-only.

ok i do not wanna get it wrong
so
this is what i do
i just get a f & m
& put hiding places in
caves ect
let them do the rest
i feed them cucumber ( i mean the fry )


is that right

Try Sea Monkeys.... There is absolutely no point in you bothering to try to get anything to breed if you don't care about proper food, tank size, tankmates, tank layout....

 

[guppy_man]

if you are looking to breed, you have to feed live food no matter what fish it is because live food is full of nutrition, which helps the fry grow.
if you are going to breed start with something like guppies, they are quite easy to care for and the fry can eat fine flake.

DONT TRY TO BREED FISH YOU HAVENT GOT THE TANK FOR!

do BN plecs fry have to have live food

Even guppies benefit from a good varied diet, including live food and veggies. But note that all live food does not necessarily have to be live- as in swimming around in the tank- there is a lot of nutrition in frozen or jellied live food. Also, things like infusoria (for small fry) are not difficult to grow- a banana skin in a glass of water; I did this when I was 10.
Anyway, if you are going to breed- have you got grow-out tanks? And, just as importantly, have you got somewhere that will take your fry? Judging by the number of very young bristlenoses seen in the shop around here, they are overrun with fry from people who haven't got the space to let the youngsters grow out to a decent size at home. If you run out of homes, have you got the space to separate the male and female? once they have got the idea of breeding, they may want to carry on.

MOLLIES BREED LIKE RBBITS I HAVE FEED BABES ON CRUSHED FLAKE AS WELL AND RAISED LOADS SUCSSESFULY

 

[puppyjess123]

Instead of guppies you can go for any type of livebearer. They're all easy to breed and i only give the fry veg, hikari first bites, crushed flake.
