Zebra Danio Fry!

[LucyB]

My Zebra danio eggs hatched today! They are in a 13 litre tank of their own with a heater and an airstone.

I have a few questions!

• When should I start feeding them? I've heard I should leave it a few days because they have their egg sack to eat?
• What should I feed them? I was thinking boiled egg yolk, can someone give me a method!
• How often do i feed them? Someone told me 6 times a day.
• How often do I clean the tank, and how much water do i change?

Pictures for you guys There are hundreds of fry!!

Thank you!

They have started to swim around instead of just sticking to the glass... I need to know when to feed them!!

I would hatch out baby brine shrimp and begin feeding them now. A day or two after hatching and they should begin to feed.

Water changes are important with babies, I would change a small portion -10% daily

Thank you! It will be hard to clean the bottom of the tank... There is no substrate, but some of the fry are sat on the bottom! D:

No substrate is a good idea easier to keep clean. Boiled egg will also work but will pollute water quickly. Baby brine will survive a while in tank. Babies are fun! Finding homes will probably be your only problem. Good luck

I have a LFS that will take them, they took my firemouth cichlids when I raised them.

Put the moss ball int there from your old tank, that should help as it will harbour microorganisms for them to eat.

I have already added the moss ball, I fed them some egg yolk and cleaned their tank today, they are all swimming around now - rather than just sticking to the glass like they were yesterday...
