Where does everyone keep their Fry? | 9 comments (9 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Hey everyone (none / 0) (#4)

I have two 10 gallon and a 5 gallon for my fry (startng to be slightly overrun) Since space is limited I do, yes, co-mingle approximate aged fry with opposite enough colors that I can then seperate (ie. red fry with purple fry, yellows/blacks with blue metals)I use the sponge filters and love them since they double as the air stone and filtration. Somtimes algae will build up or food gets stuck on the filter and the little fry eat off of it.
As for fry raising methods, ummm do I have a method? Worry, water change, feed, worry, water change, feed...I try to feed spurlina powder 3 times day and frozen baby brine shrimp 1 time a day (or atlease every other day depending on supply) and I do small water changes 2-3 times a week. I keep the temp at about 80 degrees and keep the heater near the filter since the air wpushes the heated water around instead of having it sit in one spot. My lights stay on as long as I am awake (6am to about 10pm) then lights off for everyone. I have also finally come to grasps with getting rid of sick looking fry, though I do still wait until it looks like a lost cause.
I hope this helps and good luck to you both! Cloe
