Hello there, I'm fish breeder from Indonesia, looking forward to breed the Royal Whiptail
Set up in 80 x 35 x 35cm tank
These cute little whiptail
This is a parent candidate, still in mix size..
I have tried to raise the fry.. Only 100 of 1500 alive up to 2"
It's so hard to raise.. I read about earthworm sticks, but the seller is not shipping to Indonesia..
Could anyone give an advice how to make that earthworm sticks?

Hi mate
What are you feeding them ?
And what are your parameters, I doubt Earthworm Sticks will not give you a better success rate.

Is it good? For Panamense fry?
How do you feed them? Smash it or give it whole?

I don't bother smashing peas, or anything else I feed, Blood worm may be an issue from what I here, with choking, I use mini Blood worm, I have raised hundreds of fry with out any losses that I'm aware of anyway, I leave De-shelled Peas/Potato/Courgette in my tank for days, and my fry are continually feeding but I do 50% water changes every five days and clean my pump on a weekly basis I'm sure your fry will have no problems with the above, nearly forgot I also feed BrineShrimp also.
My set up is completely different than yours, and I've never lost any fry, maybe one of the experts can shed some light on why you have such a high mortality rate with you fry, I'm sure if you give some information PH,TDS, water changes etc etc someone will be able to help you.
