So any advise from anyone would be great, i've never raised fry before Thanks Yvette |

Wood for them to rasp on. BNs are awesome, i love them, ive raised a few batches of fry. So keep us posted on how its going. They sell well in the end as well Matt. |

| aussiebloke Fish Addict Posts: 727 Kudos: 851 Votes: 12 Registered: 31-Aug-2003 | Sponge filter  its the only way to go with babies. lots of area for bacteria to grow and they dont suck the babies in |

| dannisyvette Fingerling Posts: 40 Kudos: 36 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Nov-2004 | My male has moved the eggs to just outside the opening of his cave he's still fanning them and guarding them but will they be ok? Thanks in advance Yvette |

| aussiebloke Fish Addict Posts: 727 Kudos: 851 Votes: 12 Registered: 31-Aug-2003 | Hmmm  Mine never moved the eggs I guess theyll be ok so long as the males there guarding them. They pretty varacious that way. Id say just keep and eye on them, no doubt you are any way .Matt |

| dannisyvette Fingerling Posts: 40 Kudos: 36 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Nov-2004 | OK i got bad news  i tried to put the eggs back in as he wasn't near them but somehow the other end of the tube he's in got uncovered (it was buried in gravel) and the eggs got out the other end and the female was eating/attacking them?? not sure which so unfortunatly it was unsuccesful this time. Any ideas as to why he didn't look after them ? would it be because that was the first time he's bred with her or because there's 3 females and 1 male Thanks again for the advise will store the info for next time Yvette |
