Fry Attachment with parrents

[nabilbb]

Hi All,

My Breeding pair RT and PB have spawed around 12 times each time they reach to the stage of free swimming but they didn't attach to the parrents, last 3 times when they were free swimming I did the following

1. Removed the sponge Filter and put an Air stone
2. lower the water level

but still didn't work

any Suggestion? Comments?

Thank you,

Here are some suggestions...

Is the background/sides of the tank darker than the parents?
If so, try removing it.

Leave a light on the tank 24hours a day.

put a divider in the tank, in addition to lowering the water level to force the fry near the parents.

No back ground the wall color is light. the only thing I didn't put a devider. but how about the parrents? they wont have much space to swim. wont that stress them?

What size tank do you have them in?
Once the fry attach, you could remove the divider.

Is foster parents an option?

It is 25G I don't think it is the fault of the parrents they are doing everything they can to take care of their babies

Why are you crossing a PB with a non-PB? Unless the PB is already that cross, all the offspring are going to be heavily peppered.
