Re: baby fry and hatching baby brine shrimp

[David Trescak <aquapassion@sympatico.ca>]

Usually, I remove the male 2-3 days after the fry are free swimming. All 
the spawns I've had without removing the male were eaten by the male (I 
presume) as he was ready to spawn again and was removing the fry to get the 
female to spawn again.  With that method, I've been able to get the fry to 
survive at about a 60-70% rate.
