    Default Now what do I do?

    First batch of fry ever!

    So how long do I let the female recover before putting her back in the big tank? How do I know when to start feeding the fry? How often should I feed them? I have the hikari first bites... oh sooooo many questions.

    Congrats on the fry, still waiting for my first batch of anything lol. One thing you might want to add is what kind of fry/fish they are. I am sure plenty of help will reply soon enough. Good luck

    Congrats on your first batch!!!

    I usually just put the female back to the main tank. I started feeding my yellow lab fries when the egg yolks disappeared. I fed them Hikiari First Bites. And I feed them twice a day .

    Hope this helps
