    Default 5 week fry in there New 29g tank

    I moved 11 of my strongest fry over to a new tank water it dead on! It's been 24 plus hours and they still seem scared! I picked the cause they ate anything and everything! Even flake. They are also larger then most of the batch.

    How long does it normally take for them to start eating like crazy like before? These are my 1st grow outs and I have about 200 more in additional spawns.

    I have keep all of my 6 tanks at 28.8C. along with my aging bucket. I have moved to temp to 29C. Fry are about 6 week old.

    put 5-6 small tetra in there... for 2 reasons:

    1. When they see Tetra eating flakes or anything else than it is mid-water column. that might ease them into eating flakes.

    2. I use tetras like early warning detection... if they are not happy and or die then I know something is wrong with the water. (Like WW1 usage of canary for poisonous gas detection)
