Care for zebra danio fry

HI all,

I recently moved my zebra danios to a larger tank but kept the old smaller tank with some water in, in order to maintain a snail population as we were considering getting a pgymy puffer. The tank has had no filter and only a small amount of water in it as we weren't too worried about the snails (they breed so prolificly!) but my partner noticed today that there seems to be some fish fry in there. By removing the fish and the filter it seems we have inadvertently allowed eggs to hatch.

Having not planned to breed the danios I don't know how to care for the fry so would appreciate any tips and suggestions, please.

 

Keep them in the snail tank and feed them Infurosia and baby brine shrimp.if you put Java moss in the tank infurosia will frow in it and they will eat that.

 

Thanks. Do you know what sort of survival rate do the fry usually have?

 

Usually about 10% survive.

 

They need large, frequent water changes, and I'd add a sponge filter to the tank.

 

Can you recommend a suitable filter? My local pet store had a very small one but it looked like the holes were still too large for the fry.

 

A sponge filter would be ideal for fry.

 

You can cover up the intake with a sponge.

 

watch this...!! its cool...
