Angelfish Fry Day 10
Sorry for the delay in updates…as for the fry they are now starting to develop dorsal and anal fins. They now look like little diamonds rather than the tadpole shapes that they have previous assumed. I’m not sure if that photo is clear enough to see the fins…please comment and let me know. I’ll try [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 9
Crisis avoided! The fry are fine this morning and my brine shrimp had hatched so they’ve had a good feed this morning. They were a little lethargic but are fine now, here’s a snap… As you can see, the fry are no longer transparent, they now have a shiny surface so their jaffa cake bellies [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 8
Day 8 and disaster strikes! I successfully fed the fry this morning with live brine shrimp and all was well. However, when it came to a later feed, the brine shrimp had died. I’m not sure as to why, as the brine shrimp had successfully hatched but then died. Unfortunately my other hatchery is not yet [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 7
Early post this morning (snow related insomnia to blame!)…the little guys are really starting to grow now. Their markings are now apparent, again it looks as though dark kois are going to dominate: Here, the markings of the darker kois can be seen (near the top of ‘the cloud’). I took this photo just before [...]
Angelfish Fry – The Parents
OK, as not too much is happening right now, other than the fry growing and trying to get into my clean pipette, I figured it’s be a good time to introduce you to the spawning pair that laid the eggs. The fry are starting to get their markings so I don’t want them to give [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 4 – Part 2
This evening I had more opportunity to watch the little guys as I was cleaning their vase. They are now interacting with external stimuli, as I found when they were following my round as I looked at them from different angles. The following video is a more in depth version of feeding time: the fry [...]
Angelfish Fry Day 4
The jury’s still out on those pectoral fins! Not too much in the way of new news as it’s only been 12 hours since my last post…to keep you entertained though, here’s a video of this morning’s feeding: cp_load_widget(‘AwLABW6JyW_N’, ‘_cincopa_widget_e6e9d3b6-df7f-4a07-b4ce-8e7bef3bda62′); Click here to open the gallery.

Angelfish Fry Day 3
The fry are really starting to get active now, as they continue on their mission to grow into fully fledged angelfish! Did you like this? Share it:Tweet
Angelfish Fry Day 2
The angel fry are continuing to grow and are all eating well now. Today and tomorrow are the days where those that aren’t developing properly will die. True to form I have had to remove about 5 dead fry today. This is to be expected though, as not all of the fry will be defect [...]
