i have jd babies

i got up this morning and went to check on mum and dad and i saw these tiny fry bouncing up and down on the gravel. they are so tiny. mum and dad are extremely aggressive, coming up to the front of the tank the minute anyone passes by.

Hi Helen,
Congratulations! There's nothing prettier than a cloud of fry surrounding the parents (you should get to see that in a day or two). In case you need to pick up something to feed them, I've had fantastic results starting JD fry on Hikari First Bites. You should be able to find it at your local fish store.

Good Luck,
Mark

Don't be too worried, the parents will move the fry from one brood pit to another several times a day, so losing site of the kids is quite common. It usually takes about three days post-hatching for the fry to become free-swimming.
