Dwarf Cockatoo fry at 1 and 4 weeks since free swimming

[gheitman]

My Apistogramma cacatuoides spawned and here are pictures of the fry at 1 week and 4 weeks after they became free swimming. I have at least 8 fry that I can count.

Awww, cute little guys! How do you keep up with them...what with running around the tank and all?

Well done Gene. What do you feed the fry? I have two bactches of wrigglers right now. My first lot didn't survive the second week.

I fed them Liquifry to begin with and then Fry Bites after they were 2 to 3 weeks old.

You really should be feeding them baby brine shrimp the growth rate doubles compared to powdered and other prepared foods. Also if you have access to a fishless pond you can catch small daphnia and you can put as much of them into your tank as you want and they are just as nutricious as brine shrimp but survive a whole lot longer
