procyg Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 My rainbow cichlids had a surprise successful spawn and now i have 50+ free swimming fry in my 75 gallon community tank. Every other time they ate the eggs or they were unfertilized. Thankfully I dont see any aggression from the parents at this point. I do have a QT tank setup with 1 electric blue acara in it that is slated to go into the community tank this weekend where i can grow out the fry if i could catch them...Tank is heavily planted with hardscape and trying to get them will be difficult. I was not really interested in growing them out but since there are so many free swimmers i might want to try...Any advice on catching them and best way to raise them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The fine mesh 3d box shrimp nets are great for catching fry. Or a reusable metal mesh coffee strainer in a pinch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
