My pair of Scribbled Reds from a well know Breeder in the Great Lakes have finally successfully spawned. There were probably 60-70 eggs and most turned into wigglers. At free swimming for a week I noticed 40-50 free swimmers still. Now at almost 4 weeks I have only 20 left.
The last week they were with their parents, the water quality started to get knida bad, because I was afraid to get in there and do some serious house keeping. So live and learn.
I do notice that a few of the remaining babies have very underdeveloped dorsal fins. I'm not sure if some are immature or these are what's known as culls.
Just thought I'd ramble and see if anyone can give suggestions to feeding and to tank conditions of the parents before separation.
Thanks,
Sean.
