They'll be fine. Don't drop the water level too low so the net collapses. When you pour the fresh water back in the tank, make sure your temp is the same and add it away from the breeding net. You should remove any left over food or waste from the breeding net too. I use a small basting sucker thing. Sorry for the lack of technical name.

Thanks for that i successfully did a water change and they seem fine. I was wondering if i could feed the fry crushed up granule food seeing as it has more protein than flake food?

Where do you buy live mosquito larvae?

I have no idea, im sure you can find a place. I take the risk and allow wild mosquitos to breed in a bucket of water and then i just scoop out the larvae.

Find a place for what?

Anyone else have any ideas on feeding fry crushed granule food?

Thanks i'll try it today hopefully they will eat it.
Also how long should I keep the fry in the breeding net? They have been in there for about 3 days so far

As long as they are big enough to not be eaten

So would it be fine to keep them in there for a month or so until they can start eating properly

Yes. They can stay in the breeding net for a month or so.

Find a place that actually sells mosquito larvae.
