How to raise Sturisoma aureum fry?
Posted: 21 Jul 2012, 16:35
Hi all!
A while ago my wild caught Sturisoma aureum spawned, most of the eggs hatched. The fry lived for a week or two, stuck to the glass of the 450 liter tank they were in.
I fed with green tabs and with frozen kale (boerenkool) as I read in another breeding report here at pc. But after two weeks none were left. Now the male sits on some 100 eggs again, and I am eager to raise some of the fry.
I suspect them to have starved from starvation and would like to do better this time.
My questions are:
How to feed them?
What to feed them?
Is it better to net them out of the large tank and move them to a smaller set up to raise them?
Thanks!!
