#320217 Peacock Bass Spawn
Posted by MattyB on 04 July 2014 - 07:23 AM
Hey everyone. I have come across a mono peacock bass breeding pair, male at 50cm female at 35-40. going threw my first attempt to raising fry. here are some pictures of the parents
Eggs
just become free swimmers yesterday
Serperated into 5 different fry saver containers in same tank just after turning into free swimmers, re located parents
Now this is my first trial, is this normal for them to bunch up like this in the containers?
Now any advise is please welcome on people that have known people to raise successful fry. for my first trial I decided to put straight into containers due to the amounts of feedings needed the fry can find them straight away. atm there just on micro worms, starting up some hatcheries so than I can start feeding brine shrimp as well. feeding whden ever possible, atm going to start with 6.30, 7.30, 12.30, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (times of feedings)
please let me know any advice or if you suggest im doing something wrong. thank you guys
also here is a little vid of me feeding the parents live food the day after I got them. settled in nicely.
