 | Can fry keep the tank cycled? |
johnsmith Enthusiast Posts: 166 Kudos: 144 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-May-2004   | I have some (~12) l. ocellatus fry with their parents in a 10g, but I would like to take out the parents to give the fry a better chance of growing up. Right now the fry are about 1cm / .5 inches long. Could those fry keep the tank cycled? |

I'm not saying you could remove them and right away drop in a 5" Convict or something, but they'll keep the filter in good enough health to maintain themselves, easy. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
