Knightdrake Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) So I used the coop trio on Sunday. Today I noticed the tank has a bunch of fry in it. I know the fry need to eat pretty often. Why does the instructions say to not feed the fish while doing the trio. the tank is currently planted and the females have started nipping at each other. There are only two females in there besides the fry. TIA Edited April 13, 2021 by Knightdrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris287 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 The fry should be fine if you're tank is mature I have left fry for 2 weeks without food and they survived off algae and cyclops. I don't know why you can't feed them while dosing I feed my fish anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It's to help stop ammonia spikes during treatment if have fry just reduced what your feeding if you feed twice a day feed them once a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Yep, what @Colu said. A lot of meds require does over multiple days with no water changes during that time, so if you get an ammonia spike you’re in a pickle. Just take measures to keep the level of waste/extra food down.
