Triple Spawn - 17-Sept Saturday (cont')

Saturday 17-Sept-2005. Good Morning ! Rise & Shine !

Day 6. I have decided to remove the males 1 day earlier. This is perhaps already stretching the limit. I have read about 7 days being the limit but I have yet to personally tried leaving the males in the bredding tank for so long. Guess I have come this far and 6 days is it.

What I have done in the past is around 4-5 days, i.e. once I started the first feed to the fries. But let's see how much fries I have left this round. Regardless, it will be good lessons learned.

- Need to get the males' cans ready for them to move back. Intend to put some fresh water in but retain most of the black water. Black water will be good for the males.
- Need to take care not to nest the fries out too when removing the males. will need to use an intermediate tank to do the transfer, and "rescue" any fries that got nested out with their dads.
- That little red males that is temporarily occupying one of the can needs to be moved out. rental due, my friend.
- Need to give the males a good feed
- and for the fries too, a good serving of microworm will be yummy.
- next, shall I leave the partition in for now, or remove it ? let's see how it goes ...
