One lonely fry.....

[Melissa]

Long story short, I had a spawn of about 50-60 white butterfly/ white scorpion Throwbacks... After the majority of them were eaten by surrogate parents... Then there were 10.... Because it was too early to be removed from the parents ( Im pretty sure this was the cause...) 9 died over the course of about a week.
And then there was 1.... And surprisingly he's survived ove a week by himself and is showing some growth!

I'll post a picture of the little guy soon... But I wanted to ask, has anyone ever raised just ONE fry by itself?! Poor thing has to be lonely right?

Well, I ended up with 8 fry 3 months back. 5 are Ok, 2 are stunted-runts, and 1 is stunted-runtand deformed.
I tried the accidental siphon trick during a w/c, but my kids and wife said they will never speak to me again if I did so. They have named the 3 so I forced to go with the flow. Keeps everyone happy.

In desperation I tried raising a batch of golden albinos with infusoria. Nothing else had worked. Only one survived, and it barely grew, even though I supplemented the diet from day one. When it was a few months old I put it in with another spawn of blue sapphires that was roughly the same size. I really don't think he appreciated the company. I still have the little one. He's about eight or nine months old and roughly two inches. :)
