Thanks for viewing. your input is appreciated
I have been keeping Saulosi for about 8 months now. I have had my females hold several times now and none of the fry have made it once they were spit. (The first several batches i just let go in my large tank and hoped they would survive). With this last batch i decided i would attempt to strip the female. I set up a spare 20 gallon i had and used filter media from my established tank to seed it. I caught the female and, using all precautions, stipped the fry from her and placed them in the 20g.
Now my issue is THEY WONT EAT! i read that its a good idea to get a turkey baster and use that to force crushed flake food down to them. THEY STILL WONT EAT! any advice would be great!
Facts:
-20g Hex
-bare bottom
-80 degrees
-Ocean Nutritian Cichlid Formula
-no water changes yet, fry have only been in tank for a day
-Perameters are exact same as 55g
