Re: New fries

[Per Wigstal <per_wigstal@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi Prem
 
You can feed the fry with newly hatched artemia or microworms. This is what I use to feed my apistofrys.
No, the parents will never see the fry as food. But they will stop protecting them after a couple of weeks. Normally the guarding period ends when the parents spawn once again!

Hey folks,

PLEASE answer my two questions:

1. With what can I feed the fresh little fries?
2. Will the parents stop protecting them after a certain time and
start eating them?

Best wishes
Prem
