From Eggs

[daguldfisher]

Managed to hatch the eggs I bought from ebay thailand. Now they are 1 week old and some are still belly sliders but seems eating well enough with bbs. Is there a way that I can fix these killifies fries? Hope you bros can help me. Thanks in advance!

It's very hard to "fix" these belly sliders since this is a problem with their swim bladders not fully inflating with air at the point when they first hit the surface upon hatching. While some will grow up into adulthood with proper care, most keepers will cull them for various reasons. The majority will still be able to spawn, but will be unable to swim properly (swimming for them is a laborious process so they just jerk about on the tank bottom), so it is up to you to decide whether to keep them or not. If you have a decent number of males and females from the normal swimming fry growing up then the belly sliders can be kept as standby for spawning purposes. Since they are bottom spawners that plough into the peat, you don't have to worry about the females from the belly sliders.

None of my fries died so far and they seem improving as I noticed that only a few keeps sticking to the bottom. Some of them seem to swim a bit. Although a lot smaller than my good swimming fries. I hope they all survive. I was looking for kind of tea bag that some forum was talking about.

bro, how much was your damage for a pair of your ANN's from C328? I seem to have missed my chance.

They've grown now. Some so big they bully the smaller ones. Last night my wife forced me to put them into my com tank together with my tetras ang guppies when she noticed me set up another tank. Se caught me and nagged me so I was forced to.
