Raising angel fry

by Alasse

I finally found something that my angel fry cannot get through *L* Soooooo i'm gonna have a try at raising some myself.

I've left some with the parents and have a floating net (improvised compression stocking over the frame *L*) in the tank with the parents, so as not to shock the tiny fry by moving them to another tank.

Dad is very unhappy with this, he is trying to get them out, but it is way to fine for him to be successful *L*

I only have a powdered fry food at present, but will pick up some liquid fry food tomorrow for them. Its too cold to hatch brine shrimp successfully just yet, as soon as it warms enough i'll be doing some for them.
