bloated fry

Hi does anyone know the cause for fry to become bloated and die, I have had a few fry die that are very bloated and 1 had a bubble looking stomach it was see through. This is my first fry in a few years so decided to let them stay in the breeder tank rather than dismantle the tank trying to remove t...

Thanks everyone, its just one of those things that can't be helped. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar thing happen I know this cannot be prevented but I am curious as to what killed her, laying the eggs or perhaps the male got a bit over excited and killed her.

any thoughts

female died laying eggs

I'm totally devastated, what would have been my first spawn in 2.5 years (2nd in total) has ended in disaster. The female was trapped for a few days then today i had a wee look and noticed she didn't move and was looking very pale, on closer inspection turned out she died with 2 eggs hanging out of ...

No harm has ever come from this its normally just a l...

I have FX5's in 2 of my tanks full flow and surprisingly its not as powerfull as I thought it would be, but the zebs seem to like it and being able to point the dual outputs at different angles is very handy. Has anyone had any problems with these filters? as I have had to had the motor changed on o...

Hi Andrew sorry about the deal falling through, some people seem to see their zebs as stock market shares unfortunatley. Lucy is probs right about buying fry as once they are sexable you could always sell on any extra males you have.

best of luck in you quest for the holy grail :)

Well done on the spawn but im sorry to say that once the fry hatch they are attached to the egg and will spend the next week or so eating the egg yolk until totally consumed they should also be still in the back of the cave. I can only assume that the dad has ate them or kicked them out for some rea...
