Already got rid of the fungus ones. What do I do when the are free swimming? I dont have any luck with growing baby brineshrimp. What size tank will they need when they start developing (BIG BODIES) lol. This what they are in right now

Whats the next step? And how long will they be able to stay in that after free swimming? Thanks

I feed golden pearls to newly hatched fry. Hikari first bites works as well.

To keep them in the fry saver once they are free swimming, try using an aquaclear sponge over the outflow.

One of the sizes will fit exactly across the width of the medium-sized Marina fry saver.

You probably want to give baby brine shrimp a shot again. You may raise some angel fry with golden pearls, but most thing they need more movement of their food.

Here is a super easy method of hatching baby brine shrimp. I haven't tried it, but will the next time I have fry that need baby brine:

I finally had success hatching baby brine shrimp when I admitted to myself that the vials for sale at the LFS's were NOT quality eggs. I ordered eggs from Brineshrimpdirect.com, and it made *ALL* the difference for me. I bought their Grade A brine and have gotten a superb hatch rate.

So what size do the fry have to be to be switched to a 10 gallon?

:confused0007::confused0024::sick0004::sad0017:They all died

 

[jonclark96]

Bummer. Any idea what happened?

 

[fishman13]

No idea, They were all free swimming one day and then the next morning more than half the group was gone and then after that they started dieing off quickly. They were still in the bredding container that I showed in the earlyer post's

 

[dogofwar]

Were you feeding them?

 

[Greengirl]

Was the water too stagnant? You still need to do 20% water changes at least every other day.

I was feeding them the fry food from hikari and they were in a filter breeder box greengirl look at the begining post
