New Sewellia fry

Post by janma » Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:54 am

Just 9 days after the new setup I noticed some movement behind the fake wall. First I thought they were some parasites or something. But it was the smallest fry I've ever seen :shock: and there were a lot of them.

Eric Bodrock wrote in his article:
Did you notice I mentioned several times in the article that the fry are tiny? That’s because they are the smallest fry I’ve ever seen in my thirty-four years of fishkeeping! It kept me up at night for several days thinking about how in the world I would grow out such tiny fry.
Can definately relate to that, had to rub my eyes a few times. The good thing is they are separated from the rest of the fish so feeding them will be easy. The bad thing is how the hell will I get them out from there. Wish them luck and me too 8)

Pics would be nice yes, but don't think my camera can focus on anything this small. I'll try, good reason to buy a new camera ;)
