Surprise in my 2 foot shrimp tank

Was looking at my 2 foot tank this morning wondering if i should take it offline and rescape as its wasnt doing as well as i thought it would. Now this tank has not had any fish in it. Just 5 shrimp... this morning i found little swimmers in there. Not sure what they are.. is this fish or some insect popped in there...
Definitely not baby shrimp..

 

Awesome. Have you ever had fish in there? Moved plants from other tank to the 2ft?

Yes some of the moss was in my big tank and got a few plants from @quattro, but if i remember correctly there was only tetras in his tank. Will be interesting to see what they are. Hopefully they survive

Nice, the wonders of nature

 

Congrats. What fish were in the tank with the moss? How many fry are there?

 

Thanks i count 5
Mostly rainbows and tetra... and a few rams.
What do i feed these guys??
I have some powder food i used to use for my baby guppies, would that work?

Baby powder for livebearers might be a bit big. Try boiled egg yoke. Desolve some in water and then add about 1ml 3 x a day

I had this happen once while on holiday. Unfortunately the fry didn't make it for some or other reason, was about 2 months old.

Best of luck

 

Thanks, im gonna give it a try and see what happens. No other fish in the tank, im gonna leave them in there and see what happens.

Congratulations @Ammar!!

Yes.... Nature is amazing...

I used the Tetra powder on my acara babies that were minute and it worked. I found it to be really fine powder.
The egg also works but you just need to be more careful with water changes/quality as it does spoil the water much quicker
All the best!!

 

Ask Prof Dirk for some SP1.

 

Fry masterclass!

 

Or caveman mode. Round stone and a bowl.

Get yourself a micro worm culture going.
You can replenish it every few weeks, and will always have food available for any unexpected fry.

Hikari First Bites....
I successfully raised German Rams, CPD, Guppies, Dwarf Neons and many other fry on it.

Alternatively, a trick in a bottle...
Ocean Nutrition have hatched Baby Brine Shrimp in a bottle, that is ready to feed fry.
A bit pricey, but well worth it.

 

I have done that too, using cichlid gold sinking and massivore and it worked
Just a bit of PT

 

Got some of this, i will be hatching today so should have some decent food soon.

Looks interesting. Let us know how it goes? If you don't mind me asking what did it cost, haven't seen it in stores before...

 

Lol @AmithS i dont even know if these will hatch, ive had them for years bought them from a member years ago for 50 bux when i wanted to get into fancy guppies. Needless to say that never went too well at the time. Im sure u can get these online, ill have a look and let u know if i find local suppliers.
