Experience with Oscar fry??

Posted on August 18, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I have a pair of 7-8 year old Oscars. They have their second batch of successfully hatched fry (free swimming for a day now.) The first batch has one surviver that is in it’s own tank. I know that I could remove them from their parents for a bigger # to survive but as a hobbyist, I have little resources of “takers” when the fry are big enough. I need suggestions with good filtration without sucking up the babies…I have tried panty hose on the end of my bio-filter tube but that doesn’t prevent fry from getting stuck to it. I also could use good suggestions for feeding them. I use brine shrimp and have used crushed flakes. With them in a big tank..how can I ensure they are finding the food?

I want a new pet but my parents say no!?

Posted on July 7, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

About a year ago I started thinking about getting a pet rat. So first I bought sea monkeys and hermit crabs to make sure that I could manage a smaller pet, before jumping in and getting a rat. I took care of those guys fine, and I have finally presented my parents with the idea. I have full confidence that I can take care of the rat, and have researched a ton. My parents think that I would be a good rat owner, but they can’t stand the idea of me cleaning a cage. Isn’t is stupid that they don’t have another reason? I mean, it’s ME cleaning the cage, not them. How can I expess this to my parents, and do you agree that I should get one? Thanks!
as, yes, what a lovely reply?!?
ignore the first detail, lol!

I am hatching brine shrimp to feed my angel fry, is there another way?

Posted on December 15, 2009 by admin| 3 Comments

It is an easy process, but I’m finding it hard to keep up as there are so many. The parents hatched out one batch 3 weeks ago, which I removed into another tank to care for, then they laid and hatched out another batch last week, which I have left with the parents. There are thousands of them!!! Is there another way to feed them apart from the “small fry” liquid suspension? To me this is not good for them as they like to see the food moving before they will eat it. Any suggestions?
You have to keep in mind that these fish are the size of a match head, so the frozen shrimp you buy in the store are bigger than the fish I’m trying to feed.
