can it hurt the babies to take both parents out already????

bump for above question.

20 new pics on the last page,dont miss them.

so i put some frozen brines in...........
man did the fry go crazy
parents were going not knowing what to do.
it seemed like there was twice as many,just like that.
to bad ya cant see all the fat bellies in the pics

15 more pics i think this makes 54 pics in this thread.LOL

so you seen how big of a cloud they were in 2 hrs ago.
well check this out.lights have been off for 2 hrs and i went to check on them.
would you have guessed the parents could round up that group,
tuck them all in a corner,and all the babies stay?
this pic is after the ones above,not an old pic when they were in the sacks.
glad i didnt remove the parents yet.

Mine still huddle in one corner for bedtime. My FH would pic up every last baby and put them inside this little pot at lightsout. Eventually, they got to big and she started to maim them, so I took her out. The babies would be fine if you removed the parents. I went out and bought live plants.. anacharis mainly, and put that in with the fry for them to eat. They are constantly picking at them. They are omnivorous so this helps give them a jumpstart IMO. Nice pics BTW. Eventually, the babies will learn that you mean food and will approach the glass every time you get near.

Fries will huddle in a corner even without the parents. Happens when the lights goes out.

thanks for the info.
im working on moving the parents.
hard when every tank is full tho. lol
anyone want to come over for fish sticks?

 

[midnight]

so i moved the parents
there not happy at all.
"dont blame them,one min they had a cloud of babies,next min none"

babies are in 4 groups now "see last 4 pics"
so with no parents they can come to the front so heres the best i could do for closeups.
also did a water change

i would have left the babies with their parents while they are still that small... they still feed off their parents

They don't feed off their parents. Discus fries do, but not these.
