How well do the fry survive in captivity? Like you say you have 200. If all 200 survive...

My fuzzy dwarf is only 4 inches long, but within the first month he went from having 6 bands on his fins to nearly 10! He grew a lot and got plump in just 2 months I’d say. I only feed live foods as I don’t want to ween them onto dead food and I feel like he ate better and grew a lot since being at the store where they didn’t offer live feeder foods. My dwarf zebra lion fish was pretty much full grown when I got it. I love lion fish. I’m currently looking for a 3rd one. Haven’t had experience with lion fish fry though. Good luck with your fry!
