how many fries in a breeder trap??

Post by eeeeemo »

Hello.

I have 13 fries now of 3mth and 2mth old in a breeder trap.
Another 23 fries are about to hatch and i am starting to run out of space to have more traps. How many fries can i have in a trap for them to have a healthy space and how old should i release them into their own 60x30x36 tank?

If they are 2 and 3 month old and eating well they could be released into the 60 tank.
It will be wise to put a moving wall into the tank to limit the space for the first few coming months to ease up feeding, you could use foam for that purpose.
Greetings,
John
