so i had some gbr eggs hatch. after a week i put them in a breeding net that they were obivously to big to get out. i added microworms and some of the media fell in and 10 minutes later when the cloud cleared, my fry were gone. wtf happened?

 

[timwag2001]

are microworms carnivorous?

Why did you put the worm media directly into the tank? Dip your finger or something else into the media with worms and then put it into a jar with water. Allow the worms to settle to the bottom and draw them out with a turkey baster/pipette and put them right by the fry. You sure they didn't leave the net?

i was trying a trick that i read online about using a paper towel.

i cant see how they could have unless the kid got into the tank when i wasnt looking
