Yahoo - First successfull Oscar spawn

OK so the eggs were laid on Friday Night/Saturday Morning.
Saw the eggs on Saturday Morning.
Got home this afternoon and have wrigglers!

When and what do i feed?
Bbs?

 

Hey, congratulations!!!
Firstly you must feed baby brine shrimp for a week or two and maybe some hard boiled egg yellow squished through a fish net or a cloth. After that you can feed baby food from tetra and then switch to finly crushed flakes. Do allot of water changes, about 20-50% a day but make sure you drip it in. Use a sponge filter in the rearing tank.

Good luck

 

They are with the parents in the 400liter.
So now i must get a rearing tank.They are still wrigglers,can i move them as soon as they are freeswimming?

Congrats! Please take some pics

 

I will try to,but with my camera...........

 

Hey, the best would be to leave them with the parents only IF they are the only fish in the aquarium, if there is any other fish take them out. If not possible syphon out the young and add to a rearing tank. Oscars are great parents but it's hard to watch over a 1000 plus young.

 

They are alone with the parents.They look like eggs with a tail!
Took a photo but the gravel is beige,so if i zoom in very close i think i can make them out on the photo.

 

They are in the wiggler stage if I can remember ( I can be corrected) it will take 5 days for them to become free swimming. you should start the brine shrimp hatchery 2 days before they are free swimming. With the parents the success rate is normally much better!!!

 

Well done Slojo! Very cool!!!

 

Well done dude. as far as I know you only feed them when they are free swimming.
congrats any way. Tell me are the the O's you got from me?

 

One of my females and one of the males i got from you yes.

 

Congrats. well done. Must be really exciting

 

Well done

 

Lekker man - en waar sit jy die ander tank ??

 

Congrats

 

Grats dude

 

Congrats how are they doing can we have some pics

 

Ok so all the fry are gone.
Eaten by the parents?
I'm going to condition them for another spawn and will then move the eggs to another 3foot tank once they are fertilised.
Any suggestions about caring for the eggs?Should i dose with any meds?

 

sorry dude better luck next time.

 

Quite common for first time Oscar parents to eat their eggs/young.

They take a few tries before they learn.
