Dont know if its just me but I feel sorry when I lose fry in my community tank, even though I know full well chances are limited for survival.
Any one back me up on this situation :?:
I also I think the parents must get a bit sad, but they usually try again at the next water change :?:

Yeah I agree Chris. It seems like such a waste, and you just hope against hope that the little guys will make it :cry:

Why dont you seperate them in a tank by themselves?

Hi Chris

Agree whole heartedly :(

Why not try pulling some fry out & raising artificially - you've got nothing to lose as they probably won't survive in the main tank.

The plan is put one of my pairs in my newly vacated breeding tank which was recently used as a hospital tank. But looking at the fry and wrigglers it seems like such a waste. Soon a pair well be tested, just not sure which pair, my Turq pair or My goldenXsnow white.
