A small update.

From some time I have noticed digging and burying of shells were going on but wasnt sure.

Yesterday night while feeding saw that near to a shell 6 babies are there, they are free swimming.

Taken a quick mobile video - sorry for the bad quality

Thanks Vijendra...

Got one more batch from seperate parents and decided to try to raise them seperately. After suggestion from Vijendra taken them off to a separate bucket.
I caught some of the fry with the shrimp net, kept them in a bucket with sponge filter on and also used the tank water.
Dropped 2-3 shell also and dropped 4-5 tylo snails there to clean up the food.

Some queries now -
Will start live food in 2-3 days. Will frozen artemia be good?
And what can be the water change schedule and percentage? And should I use fresh water for wc or main tank water?

congratulations.

Separating the fries is the best way to minimize casualty and the parents will breed again in absence of fries.......will take a close look on your progress....no doubt it is a tedious job and requires lots of attention……. I am raising my Brichardi fries in the main tank itself as I don’t have the luxury of proving that much attention to fries ……Envy u ….

Thanks Dev

Pinaki just wanted to raise these babies as it would unfold new side of this hobby, trust me its a tedious job to go back home and do the required stuff on daily basis, but enjoying it as of now. And even if I am not able to properly take care of them next time will do better

Abhishek ji hard to take their pics and moreover flash requires some maintenance
