wrigglers falling

[chikku]

my eggs have just turned into wrigglers and they keep falling off the pvc tube. parents are making the best effort to put dem back on but they miss them but sometimes they fall in between the gravel and parents cant suck them up! also i think sometimes the parents eat a few instead of spitting them out loL!

anyways is there any way to stop/prevent this?

This is why breeder use bb tanks. Get rid of the gravel is the only option you got.

This is normal. As they get experienced they ear very few. Barebottom is best :)

I agree taking out the gravel and making it a bare tank will be the easiest for the parents to look after their fry. You could also put a piece of slate under the pvc or something so they could have more of a change picking these wigglers back up if you dont like the bare bottom tank idea.

Good luck with your spawn!!!

/agreed BB is the only way to go for breeding, thats how to prevent the losses. Just play them some nice music and hope for the best for the remaining fry. Good luck!

I recommend Mosaic music...it has worked for me so far.
