So as it stands my silvers have had 3 successful spawns that they've raised on their own. Had to pull the latest brood out because they were literally pecking on the parents. The parents really looked frazzled. I know how they feel and I only have three kids! My koi parent have finally successfully raised their brood but unfortunately most didn't survive. I believe this goes to what we were talking about with the fry being smaller. They just weren't going after the bbs. I think I'll try some microworms on the next brood.
