Sterbai Spawn.....again

[Mugwump]

Thanks, Josh....grow em big and strong...

I had 2 more small spawns the last couple days. Kinda weird how they spawn a little then wait then spawn a little and wait

[Mugwump]

Great....they still laying them all over the place??..or have they found a favorite spot?

[Jdmcfast]

Still all over but it does seem like there is more in a "clump"

[Mugwump]

Those little fry should be looking really good by now...got any pics yet?...

[Jdmcfast]

Yes the ones that have survived are looking good but seem to hide a lot. I keep losing like one or sometimes two a day:'(
I'm not sure why. Actually I've been losing a lot of fry the last couple weeks. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with changing RO filters or something with city water our something completely different but it is getting frustrating:-[

[Jdmcfast]

At least I've I'm getting plenty off spawns to replace them with lol.
And I picked up 3 more adult Sterbai and 7 more orange lasers this weekend.

You might try just aging the water and using that....also, they love microworms at the small stage,etc......crushed pellets too...

[Jdmcfast]

I've used vinegar eels and bbs, also some decapitulated bbs. I need to get another micro worm culture mine went bad and I haven't really needed it with angels but I would be nice for the cory

[Jdmcfast]

Oh and all my water is aged, heated and aerated;)

They'll munch crushed pellets from the get-go...they're not quite as delicate as angels when young, they need chow, no egg sacs on em..I start with mostly bbs/micro worms for the first few days....then start with crushed foods too...gets em growing well...give it a try...
....
oh and get one of Capt'n Bob's sampler packages...they really like frenzy, and his smaller foods for fry....

[Mugwump]

How big are the Sterbia fry now??...any more pics??

[Jdmcfast]

I lost most of the big spawn that started this post but have had several smaller spawns since then the biggest ones are 3/8in. long probably and are really active

[Mugwump]

It's good to hear that you're having some success with them...
