	Aulonocara Ready to Hatch
Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003	I have one egg from my Aulonocara Stuartgranti 'Mdoka' it is due to become free swimming tomorrow. The reason for there only being one is I had five to begin with( the mother is just over 2) The rest fugused. It is currently a baby attached to the egg. The fish is not moving. What should I do in the way of a setup? I already have liquid fry and a small powdered food. I have a 5 gallon that will be availible soon or I could use a 2.5 gal.

houston Fish Guru You want what when?
