Will my fry be ok? - Aquarium Advice

Lonewolfblue · 08-20-2006, 12:17 AM

Here's what I'm looking at doing. Currently, my fry are around a half inch, or just under. Still a little small, but will they be ok with Serpae Tetras, Blue flame Tetras, Bleeding Heeart Tetras, and Cardinal Tetras? Or will the tetras eat them, as they are still smallish? What do you think? I'm proposing moving the fry to my 29G planted, as it now looks great once again.

you probably would be fine, as I'm sure you know most tetra won't eat anything unless it is **** near microscopic.

however I'm always of the opinion that you are better safe than sorry. I'd probably wait till they got atleast a bit bigger, but I would do atleast one or two of the bigger fry just to test out how well recieved they are.

True...

The only thing that worried me is that the serpaes and blue flames in particular like th thrash at each other. Just worried about them thrashing the fry, lol.
