Bosemani Rainbow fry maybe!?!?!?

[aaronnorth]

Rainbows have small throats, like discus so they tend not to eat fry

Buy a small clearseal tank one of the £15 12" ones as a nursery. small filter small heater.

Then use it as a nursery just when needed (using water from your main tank to fill it) or an excuse for a small scape!!!! 😉

Well done on the fry mate 🙂
I moved mine into the main tank when they were 1.5-2cm and apart from the odd chase the adults didn't bother them, and they're now growing nicely!

I have now moved 3 of the fry, only left one behind that is still very small in comparisson to the others and they are doing fine 🙂 the cherries that got caught in the net at the same time were not so lucky, the adult Bosemani soon took care of them, oh well ....

Just an update, after the fry being in the tank for a few weeks the Adult Rainbows decided to eat them, saw the female eat the last one yesterday 🙁

Ahh that's such a shame!

How bizarre! 🙁
I put mine in at a smaller size and all they got was a quick chase around the tank :?
