Questions regarding my first free swimmers.

[Sean]

Thanks to all who look and/or help out.

This morning, after about 6 days I had about 20 free swimmers. AS much as my wife and I poked around the parents played it very cool. Never got really stressed at all. Very excited!!

I have been doing about 10% WC a day for throughout the ordeal and feeding the parents typically twice daily with frozen blood worms. Little bit of beefheart, but not much.

Here are my three thousand questions:
1. When can I do a really good water change?
2. When can I start geting back on my regular WC schedule? About 60% daily.
2. The temp. has been about 82-83 degrees, Should I boost it now?
3. If Yes, then to what?
4. Is there any STUFF I should be adding to the water like meds or anything?
5. Assuming the fry make it, when should I pull them from the parents. I know typically it's like two weeks. But from when? two weeks from now, from when they were wigglers?


I think that's all for now. I really appreciated all of your reponces,

Sean.

P.S. Sorry about the long windedness.

Thank you very much Carol.

The answers provided give me enough confidence to move forward. It's been almost thirty-six hours since free swimming. I've started the BBS culture.

Thanks again,

Sean.
