Hello,

Was hoping someone could answer a question for me. I've been breeding peacocks for a long time now, and I just had my first female spit where the egg sac is still attached to the babies. They can't really swim as a result. What do I do?

I scooped them up and put them in a floating breeder box, so that mom can't get to them (or other tiny fish in the fry tank). Do I feed them now? I've read that the yolk sac is there food for now. Do they still have to tumble? If so, I'm screwed because I don't have an egg tumbler.

Any advice you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

is the head and tail out yet? if the head and tail is out there considered in the wiggler stage and are fine without the tumbler

The head and tail are both out. So do I treat these "wigglers" same as I would fry? I.e. feed 4 x's a day - 50% water changes every other day. Or do I not feed until the egg sac is gone and they are free swimming?

 

[TheeMon]

oh no, you were right the first time, they feed off that egg sac, so dont feed them real food untill its gone

I appreciate the help tremendously.
