Fry Updates

Posted by Sarah on July 15, 2008

The German Ram fry are still going strong - they are finally starting to take on that Ram shape, although they are still pretty small.

There are a lot less of them than we started out with, but there are still at least 20 or so, so I’m happy.

We also have some Bushynose pleco fry that just left the cave yesterday.

Well one left yesterday, two are out now, and the rest are still in the cave.

There is an article about Breeding Bristlenoses in the August, 2008 Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine, and it says that the fry are cannibalistic, so that probably explains why don’t have too many that survive.

We do have two larger fry from about 3 spawns ago, so I am sure they are having a field day with the younger fry.

Here’s one of the newer fry. He’s so tiny!
