- Thread starter pat_adelaide
- Start date
I have the same pair. Albino female, common male. But I don't et any albino fry probably because the male doesn't carry the gene. Bristlenose babies are fun cause theres so many!!
wow thats interesting u dont get any albino fry they have now stated to come out of the cave they dont seem to have any egg sack on them does that mean they have eaten it already if so how long does it take them to eat the sack
Usually takes around a week to eat the sac. Once they start venturing out I start offering food. Blanch some cucumber or zucchini or just start them straight on algae wafers.
Congrats on your new babies, Feed them once their sacs are no longer visible, leave some cucumber in their tank...raw is good...they will find it very fast...Keep Us posted on their progress.
yeah i plan to put spme pics up of my whole new breeding set up i made just in time so the move might have made them spawn
hey question guys i can see a couple of the fry coming out of the cave is that a bad thing i dont think he has kicked them out but they dont seem to have much egg sack left on them but is that a bad thing should i catch them and put them in a fry tank or let them go
I personally would not try catching young fry. They are only at risk if they are in a community tank with possible predators.
:hi: Yeah agree with Jimmy..
They come out and forage once egg sacs are absorbed..They often go back in again too...If he lets em..
