Re: Anybody have an easy way of catching fry without

I had the same issue catching my L400 and L450 fry in my heavily rock and cave tanks. I solved the problem by taking a 16 oz empty water bottle, cutting off the top 2" or so. Then invert the top into the bottle, drop a little food in it, and submerge it. I can catch upwards of 20 fry in a singl...

Re: Tips??

Not much you can do will get them out - safely. How old are the fish ?

The females will more likely hang around the caves that the males are in. Hope this helps....

Re: Fruits

I have never tried fruits, but mine will not touch zucchini. They will go for some shelled and mashed peas (as will all my fish) once in a while. And frozen bloodworms - I use the minis. Let us know how the fruit works out. Good luck.

Re: Frozen lobster eggs?????

To my knowledge, you cannot buy frozen lobster eggs here in the states. I have tried for over a year. UK has them, and I believe Ocean Nutrition makes them, but they are not available for purchase in the U.S. Good luck.
