Hi guys,
Once again I have a 33G Long tank, with three female Borellii's, what started as 60 fry and 3 amano shrimp. The fry are coming to around 3-4 weeks old now, depending on which female we're talking about. However, Ive noticed that every 1-3 days I'll find a dead fry or two. Is this normal? I am feeding them 2-3 times a day. Usually at around 3pm, 8pm and 11pm. I hatch bbs everyday and feed them only that, while I feed the mom blood worms and/or frozen brine shrimp as well. I change the water once every 3-5 days since its such a large tank, I figured I didnt need to do a daily change. Im down to about 30 ish which I find a complete bummer since I wanted to grow out all 100% of them. Just wondering if fry dying here and there after 3-4 weeks is normal?
And oh my god do these fry grow slow. I know that Borellii are the slowest growing Apistos species... but damn.
