can i put the eggs in with the babies in the fry tank...its same dad he wont have forgot the others are his will he
the babies are 3 weeks old and eggs laid todayI would wait till the youngest are 2-4 weeks old at least. I don't raise BNP though.
After that I mix fry that are within 2 weeks of age into the same grow outs .
I am not sure about the BNP but some of my fish would not even stand up to older competition in beginning..Eating is all they need to do so any interference may be troublesome until they get the 'swallow it down ' part..the babies would get eaten if left in tank they in atm
the main tank that the eggs are in atm has yellow labs and another male plec and 4 clown loaches which i think are the only fish that would eat the babies ...the only others are tiger barbs ...an upside down catfish ...a guppy and a danio a minnow and a tetraI am not sure about the BNP but some of my fish would not even stand up to older competition in beginning..Eating is all they need to do so any interference may be troublesome until they get the 'swallow it down ' part..
If they all eat sliced zuchinni it may be no problem at all ?
so they can go in with the 3 week old fry and dad wont eat the 3 week olds?I would pull them from that tank.. Everyone but the gups and danios will eat the fry.
The two would if they were big enough too.
well we got the new babies in with the older ones and they getting on fine ...dads not bothered about older ones in with the 2 day olds now as you can see in pic babies with older ones all fineI would pull them from that tank.. Everyone but the gups and danios will eat the fry.
