Aquarium Advice Freak
Today I was going to do a water change in my 55, and happened to look at the top of the 10 gallon tank and saw a oily type looking film on the water. I took off the lid and kinda swirled a finger in it to break up the surface and let it go into the water. To my surprise I have well over 300 Giant Danios fry swimming around. I read Danios hatch in about 36 hours, and are free swimming in 5 days. I never really looked into the tank after removing the adults (last Thursday afternoon). I have read many articles on breeding them, and I have done none of that at all. How can they spawn like this. I quickly put in some crushed flakes for them to eat since I have no idea when they hatched. Is this normal???? What should I feed them, I would like them to survive if possible. I did put a pantyhose over the filter opening (thanks Zach) so as not to suck any of the fry into it(some may have already perished this way) and I also read to just turn the filter off. Should I??? I think this is so cool but don't know a thing about raising fry. Please any advice to how to care for/raise these would be very helpful. I don't expect them all to survive, but some would be cool.
