L 201 fry

[Nedory]

It`s the same story all over again. I was hopless that they`d spawn. I`ve got a job in another town. I spent week-days at work and my L201 colony was left alone in my hometown. I did water changes and I fed them with bigger amounts of blood worms at weekend. After one month I checked the tank and I found three wrigglers.

Here is my thread where you guys helped me with my set up. Thank you.

After taking hundreds of pics only two of them were useable.

Congrats and well done mate :clap:

Congratulations Nedory, they look great have you seen anymore than the 3?

 

[Nedory]

No, not yet. It`s really hard to spot these three at the same time. I hope there could be more of them in caves. I am so glad that they spawned (I`ve been taking care of my L201 for almost 2 years) that I am perfectly happy with "only" three little ones.

Congrats :yes:Now you know how to get them to spawn.

Two young L201 died this morning. Yesterday I changed 10 % of water and they died. Not sure what was the cause. My guess is that they could not get some food.

young fry have the reputation of not being able to find the food....

guess thats why a lot of people use frysavers...

if they dont eat within the first few days after their egg sac is consumed they become to weak to find/eat food and perish...

sorry for your loss if you were local i'd say pop around and i'll show you what i do with my 201 fry....

I have a DIY fry saver, but I missed actual spawning. I didn`t know in which cave I can find fry.
