sunnylass Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm pretty sure the adults will be fine, I'll feed them all friday before I leave, but I have 3 week old fry as well, plus my 3-4 month old boys. Will they be ok for 48 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Are they eating anything like algae wafers yet? The adults and young fish will be fine. :fun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 what are you presently feeding the 3 week old fry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighter boy Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 be sure to give them a big feed of bbs or bs before you leave on friday. they should be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylass Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 No the adults dont eat algae wafers, little snots turn their noses up at them. The three week bubs are on live brine shrimp at the moment. Fingers crossed they'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 do you have snails to eat any uneaten food? If not, then feeding a gigantic whack of anything that may die/decay in the tank uneaten is not a good idea. Do you have vinegar eels? They will live in the water for ages and the fry can hunt and snack on them over several days IF you can add enough. My fry would be too big for VE at 3 weeks but if yours are small, it's an option.

sunnylass Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I dont have any VE. Hmm I'm now thinking I might have to suck up big time to my lovely next door neighbours and see if she would feed them for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Can you drop by Goodna way? I can give you a goodly amount of moina. They won't die in the tank, and give good hunting and chasing value. Edit: Just checked the moina, they may be too small as their mostly babies (gave away a few cultures already this week, sorry) but I do have a jar of vinegar eels you can have too, and the moina mature quickly in warm water.

sunnylass Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Bender, gosh thank you for that. I will be going past Goodna tomorrow, probably some time in the morning though. Is that any use to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yes that is fine. We are going out for breakfast (it's our wedding anniversary ) but I'll put them in the letter box. I'll pm you with the address. Hope it helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
