 Hello all , recently Charlon gave me some killie eggs today I noticed one of them was wriggling , should I add some green water (infusoria) or start with the microworm ?

Hi T3ddy,

It's nice to hear some of them are already hatching .. heat has speeded up development, hence reducing the incubation period.

You can start with microworm .. gardneri are big enough to take it (green water would be too small for this sp.). Just start to think of upgrading the container to about one litre per fry now. Not too small cause of overcrowding .. not too big for the fry to find their food. 

Congrats and well done. 

 Hi t3ddy, welcome to killie keeping! have you left the eggs with the mop or gave it a try at removing them to another container? As Charlon told you microworms and banana worms are best for free swimming fry.

 Ok thanks , I made a small foul I left the microworm in a small fridge I have just for fish related stuff , problem is left it overnight I hoped I haven't killed all the culture

Don't worry if you killed the microworms, I've got a culture going & you can come for some.

 I can't see any maybe they are behind the filter or heater

 I saw them Gianni I slowly moved the sponge filter they are 2 or 3 mm I think he he

Well Done T3ddy........

 Congr. friend. Give us some pictures man.

 Congrats T3ddy! How many have you counted?

 Still too small for pictures Martin , John I can only see one now hope the others are ok

 What are you feeding them? put some java moss with them so that they will find shelter in it and will not stay near the filter. What filter are you using? I would pefer a sponge filter for small fry.

 I don't have java moss but I put two moss bass , I am using a sponge filter
