Flanagan001 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Help. I have two Green Terrors who had babies in February 20. At first there were 100's of fry but, now I only have about 30 left. I can account for about 15 of them. But, where are the rest? Last week the heater broke so the water was cold for a few days. This week I have taken 5 dead ones out (half eaten) and they we're approx 3cm.(the larger ones). The remaining fish range between 1cm-3cm. I've checked pH levels, water changes are all up to date etc. 1) should I be separating the juvies from the parents now? 2) could it be the cold water last week?

liljohn_83 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 it could be the cold but the parents will eat a few and the juvies may eaven try to eat each other ,, id take them off the parents at 1-2 cm myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmo Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 My last batch of Escondidos went from 200 to 40 sellable juvies. As john says, parents and larger siblings are the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanagan001 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thank-you. Looks like its time to set up another tank for the juvies. Give them a chance to grow thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
