Gourami Fry 7 days old

Publicado 2024-03-09
Lots of Gourami fry hundreds in fact.
Not sure if they are from blue spot or pearl gourami.

In 50-60 of having fish I’ve never had babies. This is very exciting.
I immediately moved the three very large gourami into a larger tank.
I feed twice daily powdered tropical flakes. I just use a spoon and a plate and create the powder.
I did use egg yolk milky consistency but made a terrible mess so stopped that.
The fish are now swimming everywhere, enjoying themselves. The tank is 130litres and 26 c.

I took out some plants as egg yolk had started creating mouldy muck.
Lots of snails, about 20 they keep having babies so that’s a good thing.
I have a stocking over filter which has created a slower water return and shake the stocking daily to release algae back into tank. I also stir the bottom to release phytonutrients and planktons into the water..

So far, 7 days later our little baby gourami are doing wonderfully well..
I only have the light on for a couple of hours..

I’ll update as the weeks go by..

Thankyou
