Freshwater angelfish fry

dmh41532 · Aug 9, 2017

Does anyone happen to have experience with them? Our pairs eggs hatched, and became free swimming Monday, they aren't eating as far as I can tell, I offer powered flakes and clyclops. Can't get eggs for baby brines till the weekend. If they aren't eating dose anyone know how long they can go with out food. I can't find much online. Or if anyone can recommend a forum for freshwater

Hopefully they fed on their egg sacks for the first week and this gave you time to set up your brine shrimp hatchery. I buy Alive brand frozen baby brine shrimp and Piscine Energetics' frozen calanus for my small freshwater/marine fish/corals and this size food may be small enough for your baby angels. I also break up mysis based flake foods for my cichlid fry (mostly Kribensis) and they seem to do well on it.

Once paired, your angels should breed regularly and you'll have many more fry to feed, lol.

Good luck.

The fry started eating, and then the parents ate them‍

This was their first clutch that hatched so hopefully they figure it out eventually. Thanks everyone

Yeah, sometimes new parents don't know how to parent; they'll be more.
