| jasonpisani *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003 | What did you feed them?. I would go with Microworms for the first 3/4 days & Live Brine Shrimp till they atart eating Normal Foods. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

| manborg Hobbyist Posts: 142 Kudos: 125 Votes: 16 Registered: 04-Apr-2005 | Honestly, I didn't change a thing. I kept them in my community tank with the mom and dad and about 20 other fish. The parents were great about protecting them and I would feed the tank mostly flake food and every other day I would put in some frozen blood worms or brine shrimp. They have really done wonderfully. There are two and they are both around an 1/2 inch long now. I also love that they are now starting to get some coloring and are feeling more free to swim around the tank.

Tetra Fan  Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004  | They look like healthy Kribensis fry to me too Congrats Wow, is this their first time spawning? If so then they have done an excellent job, as most first time spawners lose the eggs/fry to other fish or panick and eat them themselves. Live food would probabaly be good to feed the growing babies  |

| manborg Hobbyist Posts: 142 Kudos: 125 Votes: 16 Registered: 04-Apr-2005 | Thanks! Its actually their second time spawning, the first time didn't go so well. But they have done a knock out job this time! |

| jasonpisani *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003 | You can also feed them finely chopped Beef Heart as a treat. If you put the parents on their own, you will nearly save all the fry, as there will be no other fish that bothers them. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

chris1017   Fish Addict Posts: 610 Kudos: 421 Votes: 70 Registered: 09-Sep-2003  | go to the store and purchase a frozen block of cyclopse-ezze. i noticed my fry survival rate was alot higher after i started using this product. it is not cheap but it works very well and it will last a long time. good luck chris |

| manborg Hobbyist Posts: 142 Kudos: 125 Votes: 16 Registered: 04-Apr-2005 | I've thought about seperating them, but don't have a big enough tank, plus I feel like the main tank is the krib's tank now...they rule the roost. I may try that food next tiem Chris, thanks. For now though I have to say that I am pleased that even two have survived and will likely grow into adulthood. They are already swimming pretty freely and the only fish that could possibly eat them right now is an electric yellow, but he doesn't seem inclined to do that...not yet anyway... |
