    Default New Fry

    Well I just stripped my 2 female Blue Zebras (first time ever doing it) and wow that is damn interesting, I got about close to 40 fry.
    I bought them Today with a male and now i have lot's of fry in the breeder net. Now what???
    What type of fry food is best??
    and how often do you feed them?

    I've also got a red zebra in the same tank(well actualy the 3 new blues went into an established assorted Africian tank) and it seems that the red zebra is being a bully to them is this normal? do red and blues get along or should they not be togeather.
    Any advice on all this would be Grand.

    African Cichlid fry will eat any flake food if it is ground up small enough for their mouths. Psuedotropheus sp. are some of the most territorial of Africans and require a lot of space. This is likely why they are fighting with the newly added fish. Psuedotropheus sp. are best kept in 150 gallons or larger unfortunately.
