Is anybody out there having significant success bringing through sturisoma fry?
I'm bringing 5-10 fry through from each spawning averaging about 100 eggs.
The problem is nutrition. That is getting enough into the larvae.

Was having similar problems with some other loricaridae and a guy in our club was working on plans for a small tank that sits in your tank so that you can concentrate the food right in front of the fry without polluting the water. It has a built in water changing system. See the attached.

Have since used it on a couple more types of loricaridae and it's always worked much better than letting the fry to fend for themselves.

Hi rusty
thanks for the reply#
The concept is fairly simple but interesting. I will give it a try once I've built my cylindrical tank.
