Bernd wrote, that the system I´m using now with a breedingbox in the parents tank doesn´t work,
cause it doesn´t allow controlled feeding of the fry. I should make waterchanges after I moved the
fry and use water with a higher conductance for stabile water parameters to keep the fry in good condition and let it grow faster.

I totally agree with Bernd about the negative point of my system and my idea is not to find a good way to raise up fry in a new way. For me it´s just the best emergency solution cause I don´t have the space to put up an extra tank at the moment(I´m still working on my fishshelf).
The seperate plastic box didn´t work well only with intensive cleaning which was stressfull for the fish and for me. I´m still convinced that the constant water exchange or water movement is better than before. I can see them hunting for food and having round bellies but they are also 6 weeks old.
I wouldn´t recommend to put newly free swimming fry in such a box.

Hallo Bernd,
für mich ist das im Moment die beste Notlösung weil ich kein extra Becken aufstellen kann. Wenn mein neues Regal steht, werde ich mit Aufzuchtbecken arbeiten.

-Haben deine Aufzuchtbecken Bodengrund und Einrichtung oder sind es Cleanbecken, mit Filter oder ohne..?
