Hi all!
I am so incredibly happy! I still have yet to get fry to survive from my linkei, even though they have spawned and had several clutches since my original posting (I suspect one of the parents must be a fry eater 🙁 ). However…I found fry from my tweediei this morning!! This was so surprising since I’ve never seen a nest and these were received as fry from Lawrence in January! 🙂 They colored up as adults after the move and they are clearly active!!
I fed paramecium this morning since I did not have any freshly hatched brine shrimp available. There are also a lot of microorganisms with the Indian Almond Leaves I think. I’ll start up the hatchery after work 🙂
I was wondering how long I could leave the fry in with the parents. They are currently in a 22 litre aquarium with lots of Indian Almond Leaves and packed with java moss. Will the parents continue to spawn with young juveniles in the tank? Or will the juveniles eat successive generations?
I also only found fry in my tank with a single pair. My tank with a trio of tweediei have not had any fry show up yet. Is this normal for trios?
Thanks everyone for helping me along my paro journey. I really appreciate it!
Cheers
Gianne
