Thanks for the response, Allen. I have a couple more questions so that I can fully prepare myself when the fry do hatch.
From your experience and observation, do the newly hatched fry cling onto the walls or lie on gravel. My previous spawn, quite long ago, were not active feeders and stayed mostly on the tank wall, slowly wasting away. Sadly, I was never able to raise their fry to juvenile stage, let alone reach adulthood.
During that time, I made a blend from potatoes, spinach, carrots, vitamins, spirulina, japanese seaweed and cory tablets, but only the adults will eat. Fry don't seem to realize that it is food
The spirulina/agar agar combo didn't work for me either.
The
sturisoma's present home is 24x18x18in and perhaps that's alot of space to seach for food. Have you, or anyone else, tried rolling off the eggs and transferring them to a separate smaller hatchery? I know it works with corys but read online that the male "
appeared to help the process by chewing vigorously at the egg's outer membrane". I have not seen this personally, so I can't confirm what was written. How about you?
BTW, are there distinct differences between
panamense and
aureum?
