Man what do you do to keep them alive?? Mine breed every other month or so but if I take them out of the tank with the parents they die within a week or 2, If I leave them with the Parents they eat them!!! Can you give me any advice?? Thanks..

What exactly are you breeding? Is it a pair of blue genes?

There are a lot of details to get right in order to breed them. If you remove them from the parents after they become free swimming get them in very clean water and make sure your tank is cycled. If you leave them with mom and dad, it just takes time for them to get it right. Even after they figure it out mine seem to slowly disappear over time.

Here we go again. More eggs. This spawn is from the pair I introduced in post #19. I had originally expect both the male and female to be blue gene gold genes, but I have since determined that the male does not carry the gold gene while the female does. This is the same pair that produced the EBJDs in the picture above.

Wonder what you are feeding the fry. If they aren't feed well, they'll perish.
