I know I said I wasn't even going to attempt saving any Reidi fry until next fall or winter but how can you resist when you see these tiny lifeforms floating around the tank!?!?!?!
I'm not going to full effort into it (therefore I know the chance of success is slim to none) but I want to at least put a few in some fishbowls with an airpump. I've got some baby brine hatching and have some frozen rotifers (I know, I know - they won't eat that) but I still have to do SOMETHING! My two questions are:
How much Amquel do you use to try and keep the ammonia in check in the tiny containers (I'm thinking a drop or two from an eye dropper?) and how do you carefully move the fry from one bowl to another when doing water changes? I'm thinking instead of siphoning and refilling water I would just move them to a clean bowl while I clean out the other one, and back and forth. (Of course they won't last more than a day or two but I HAVE TO TRY!)
Thanks in advance. I hope this fall and winter to set up a more complex hatchery and will continue to research and read and learn all I can between now and then, but whenever I see babies in the tank I just can't help but try to save a few!
