L333 Wrigglers

[ambigua]

Hi All,

I have wrigglers in the cave and wondering if i should move them into their own tank ?

What do you guys do? For and against?

Thanks in Advance

Congrats...Well done...Bravo!!
I'd leave them...if you do see any outside, scoop them up n add to fry saver, I would keep them in the parent tank till a week or two have past...
You shouldn't need to remove them if Dad does the job right...

i see this question so often - should we have a sticky in regards to this?

always leave them with their parents unless there are associated problems.. or you have a proven male egg eater!!!!
when they have exhausted there egg sack you can then raid the cave and put them in a fry saver..... or just let nature take its course - they'll come out when they get hungry!!!

Thank you both

Just harvested the hatch and had 26 survivors about 7 dead loss.

Moved them into their on tank, hopefully the parents breed again

Sorry you lost a few. :cry: But at least you have alot to grow out now. That didnt seem like a very large clutch of eggs.:dk: I wouldn't be suprised if you found a few swimming around your tank. :yes: Good Luck with them and hopefully the parents will spawn again soon. :thumbup:

Thanks.

Lost a few more now, about 15 still alive and feeding.

At least now when they hopefully spawn again i will be prepaired and learn more from my mistakes, next time around.

I was suprised they spawned really, the female is pretty small, i guess as they good old saying goes it aint all about size lol

congrats, I expect they will breed agin soon.
I tend to leave them with parents assuming no predators in the tank.
if you move to a new tank put a lot of the parents water into the new tank so they dont get any shocks.

The parents are sharing a cave again

Hopefully another spawn is coming soon

:thumbup: Nice :thumbup:

wooow another egg sack this morning

 

[Irene0100]

terrific, lets hope he raises them and you dont get losses. I would leave them with parents for a few weeks before taking out, and then with great care so no shocks.
keep doing small w/c to keep the qual good too.

well done and keep it up/ Also keep us informed...cheers jk

Well the little ones are starting to absorb there egg sack, looks like a have a slightly smaller spawn then before but hopefully more survive this time.

 

[ambigua]

Most fry are out of the cave and 2 days after no dead loss
