trk18 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi guys Been back from holidays for nearly 2 weeks & since I have been back been losing fry on a daily basis , So here goes Fish are 2cm and eating flake , Thera a & live brine shrimp Ph- 7 Ammonia & nitrates nil or very close to it Temp - 27 There housed in a 3x18x18 sumped system and all other fish are fine showing no signs of stress in any other tanks Inc fry tanks. Just waiting to clear out a tub & they will be moved to grow out. I'm thinking aggression is starting to play a part so there's a few bits & pieces added for fish to hide etc , tank has no substrate either . 25% water change once a week on the hole system & fry tanks get done every 2 nd day, from what I've seen before there dead is a weird swimming motion like loops ? Then the rest of the fry spot the weakness & pounce start to eat them . Any ideas or do you think it's just aggression ??? Advise & opinions are very welcome !! Hope this makes sence lol Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trk18 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Forgot to add that when I was away they were only feed every second day so food supply was not constant 2-3 times a day. Thinking maybe this has a bit to do with it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS969 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can def say there is a lot more aggression in my yank tank when I miss a day of feeding so that could of contributed for sure mate. I haven't forgot about them GT's either, Just been run off my feet lately mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodapwnsasmurf Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I am having the same trouble mate, but with a different species, I think it's just aggression, probably from underfeeding, I am trying to wean mine onto flake but they will only eat Hikari First bites (So bloody annoying!). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
