[Cichildlife]

Thx nd they are fine happy and eatting good!

 

[OsciTheOscar]

thats awesome! cant wait for mine... has your feeding increased as well as your PWC's? as i read it should feeding x4 and PWC's x2 (almost)

 

[Cichildlife]

I feed them twice a day threwout the evning between feedings they pick up what they miss nd eat it. Less waistful nd then feed again when i get home from school

 

[OsciTheOscar]

got home from work today and there was one single fry, and a momma with a full mouth still, perhaps it fell out??? cause like ive stated before shes really full and cant really shut her mouth...

 

[OsciTheOscar]

And that ones dead already... Maybe too early?

Aww I'm sorry. How long has she been holding? I strip my yellow labs at 21 days and I've never had one die.

 

[OsciTheOscar]

its been 20 days since i noticed she was holding, i was told its good to let her spit her first time... is this true?

I strip mine at 21 days.

 

[Cichildlife]

You could strip her. Its really wether you want to strip her everytime shes holding...

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

yes, so that they dont fear holding cos they know they will be stripped. no, so u can keep the babies. win/lose situation. and id leave it at least another 3-5 days xx

 

[OsciTheOscar]

k thanks...

 

[Cichildlife]

No problem

 

[OsciTheOscar]

there was another dead one when i woke up this morning... is she killing them or are they already dead... should i suck it up and just strip her now before more die?

 

[Bully405Customz]

I stripped my fuelleborni when she was holding but It's a case to case basis. If they hold to long you have to start worrying about the health of the mother.

 

[OsciTheOscar]

I think its gettin to that point... Ill give it a few more days, i just dont want any other dead including the female

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

if another dies, id strip.
how big are the fry? bout a fingernail or what?x x

 

[OsciTheOscar]

yea id say thats a good size... i think im gonna strip her in 2 days..

 

[Island_Emt]

Maybe the fry are starving to death? I believe the have a limited supply of nutrients. id seriously think about stripping her.

 

[Bully405Customz]

That's what was happening to mine. The mom had been stressed and wasn't going to spit them, so as the fry were growing there was less and less room/nutrients like you said.
