3)how could i go about raising the eggs/fry assuming i can
find anymore.>>
Hey Troy,
The eggs are quite adhesive with little sticky threads - if they are about
1mm in diam they could be from your Blue-eyes, if they are about 1/2 that
size more likely from the Rainbows.
Collect some water from your aquarium in a carefully washed ( no detergent)
ice-cream container and carefully gently pick your eggs from the plants
and wash them off your fingers into the container. If you float the
container in the tank and change half the water twice a week with aquarium
water you cantry to raise a few. Rainbows usuallt hatch in 5-7 days while
blue-eyes take upwards oif 10 days usually.
feed the fry sparingly on APR powder , vinegar eels etc and good luck. For
more detailed advice look at AdrianTappin';s home page ( see one of his
postings to this list)
