Wrigglers

[aussiefish]

Hi All
do wrigglers that fall off survive on the bottom of a bb tank ?? I think their parents are sick of picking them up and blowing them back on the glass! Is this the reason you should use a cone, so the wriggler have a better chance of holding on as it is not completly vertical like the wall of the tank ???

Hi Aussiefish

Mine came off the cone and all over the floor of the tank but after a day or 2 the parents gradually collected them and put them all over the place on the tank and cones. Following that they are now almost 4 weeks old and doing well parents have done a good job so I wouldn't worry at this stage.

Thanks for the vote of confidance in the parents smallfin, this is there second batch of fry. The first batch was about 1-2 weeks old before I saw anything, I wasnt actually looking very well for eggs was I !!!! :o Do you leave a light on for them at night at this stage (wrigglers) so the parents can see what they are doing???
