Possible white cloud fry ?? How to take care 8O

[swanandmokashi]

This afternoon as I was looking at my fish tank , I saw dozens of small orgasims swimming (looks like a small black dot with a tail) ..Could these be white cloud minnow frys?

The fish are trying to nip at them and maybe also eating them ?
How do take care of this situation , what food should I use for the frys ???

Please guide

Well, unless the fry or other fish are removed to another tank or separated with a tank divider you will likely have all the fry disappear w/in another 24 hours (unless you have a few that are VERY good at hiding). White clouds are actually fairly prolific breeders in the home aquarium so I would say that you do, indeed, have w.c. fry.
If you are able to separate and save some of the fry (catching fry that small is usually easiest using a container or siphon as most nets are not finely meshed enough) they are best started on infrusia (there are several methods to cultivate that found w/a quick web-search) and can then graduate to baby brine shrimp and/or finely ground flake food.
A bare bottom tank will be easiest to keep clean (and makes it easier to see the fry) -- toss in a sponge filter (the sponge will also "grow" things the babies like to munch on so it is a win/win item) and you are set. CLEAN water is a key in rasing any fry so frequent (ie daily) p.w.c. are headed your way....
Enjoy and CONGRATS
