hi there
slightly confused about this one, from what i can find on the net here & here , danio fry would hatch in about 3 days , if this is right can this really be what i have got, heck if it cant then what can it be - told i was confused lol
i am in the process of restarting my tank setup from scratch so last monday [01 mar] i took
5 x clown loaches
7 x assorted danios
1 x lemon tetra
back to my LFS for credit, leaving only my tiger pleco swimming around in an empty 40g tank
i left everything up and running so the filter media didnt die and hopefully i wouldnt have to cycle a tank again if i could just empty all the water into buckets and then back in again once rebuilt
so here i am 10 days down the line just waiting for everytihng to arrive substrate, decor, etc and i turn on the light for my pleco and i notice these miniscule things just kinda hovering in my tank and darting forward about an inch at a time, then stopping and floating backwards and then repeating the process again
are these [appx 4-6mm] things fry ? or are they now fish ? did i miss them this last week when they were born as fry ? must have meant the danios bred the morning i caught them and this time theyve survived because theres been nothing in there to eat them
whan do fry cease being fry and become fish ? - could they really have hatched 7 days ago and survived without me feeding them ? perhaps there was enough gunk in the bottom of my tanks
from what ive read here and what ive got all i can do is grind up some flake food, i hope that will make them big n strong quick enough as i wanted to stat the rebuild next week
