L333 spawn II (again) ! ! !

[barmby]

hi guys, the fishes spawned again on August 21-22.

Frankly, I have no clue if I am doing the right thing. Yesterday, I took out everything from the cave. Because I figured the fries should be hatched by now.. (Altum lurking)

Within 1 hour, these wrigglers break away from the main group. Pole position!

My tank is 4x2x2. It is a community tank for C328 exclusive giant Common hatchetfish, giant altums and giant L333s. haha.. And the L333 is doing well, reach puberty and ready. Therefore, I partitioned the tank and allow the confirmed pair to spawn.

hi barmby nice pics..

so, you isolated the breeding pair on their own?

[barmby]

Thanks. Yes, I have isolated the breeding pair. And have spawned once, which is in this thread.

Ran into a series of problem unknown to me.

L333 fries:-
1 died one week after spawned
2 died @ fourth week old, 1 day after 25% water change on 18/9
1 died 19/09
2 died 20/09

Note: fries are in fry trap

I had enough. And move all to a 2 feet tank powered by normal sponge filter. Without much effort. Direct change over. Water is aged from other tanks. I guess it is the 1-2 degree/c temperature change, sudden..

6 died 21/09

Note: now fries are in 2 feet tank

[Champ-BKK]

From my little experience.

The Fries will died cuz from ( first 1-2 months need the good care )
1. Eating a lot until bloat
I try to give them a little first and try to check everyday how many they can eat with no bloat. I use Hikari Carnivore. I also put the almond leaves in the breeding box. They can eat also when they hungry.

2. Parameters change suddenly ( from Water change )
I used Japanese breeding trap to avoid parameters change sudden.
Or you can syphon only debris or dirty may be only 5-10% everyday.

:D

[barmby]

hi champ-bkk, appreciate the advice.

Eating - it is possible as they are kept in fry trap for 3 weeks. They have little place to swim and overfed, bloated stomach, indigestion does not help really. I will take note thanks.

Water parameters, I think I will have to be more careful with the water change and tank swap. Patience needed though arrhhg.. :)

3 died on 28-29 Sep

Total death toll = 15 pcs :(

Looks like I have about 15 survivals and they are stable now
