Mach,
What do you use to set up your cultures and how do you keep them going?
What do you feed them? I'm really interested in doing more live foods. I
often loose little fry. I've also decided the bare tanks with fry just
aren't working for me as well. I find that those fry that grow up with
the parents in nice planted tanks do much better than the same fish I
remove to raise in a bare tank, even though I'm adding more specific
food for them and the water is supposedly cleaner, and they have more
room.
Is there any way not to get a bunch of cyanodorsalis fry? I have some of
yours through Sue and the spawn like crazy all the time.
Rhonda
