I've got foerschi fry!

[juliethegr8t]

My babies are a half week old today. They've already grown too. They're constantly pigging out on micros.... I swear, when they already look like they're going to explode they still go hunting and eat like 10. Anyways, I'm lovin' them to death, they're the cutest things in the universe. Very active, different from the falx too - in that they hang out as a group most of the time, and don't laze around on the bottom. I think I've still got 9 or 10...

Whoo-hoo, it's about time! Congrats on the spawn. It's small, but that's the way I like 'em! Easier to take care of. Congrats again.

Thanks.

I can't get good shots of them, no macro. They just come out looking like little brown blobs. Though I can now see all fins but ventrals.

Parents are at it again. Decided to let them do it since this spawn was so small. Mom was so incredibly chock full of eggs that she was spilling them when I moved her over to Dad's side.

You sure have a lot of spawns going on for having a five gallon growout Aren't you worried about stunting these babies

I don't have any spawns going on besides the foerschi. There are 9-11 of them now, and in 2 weeks if I have 10 more, that's still not many. I'm religious with water changes and I don't "grow them out" in the 5 gallon, I jar them when they're big enough.

Edit: Whoops.

You said they are free to go again and that your falx are together...that's a lot of fish in that size tank, if I were to venture a guess I would say that is why your fry grow ridiculously slow

Perhaps you should have a look at your own pinned thread
