I saw a bunch of fish fry in my pond the other week and thought I would love to see how they grow up in a tank. So I left three in my pond to see if they make it on their own, brought 12 in in a small two gallon fish tank for now and added a bubbler.
I didnt first start the bubbler till a few days after I brought them in them noticed I was down to about six fry for some reason, so I thought maybe they need more oxygen so I put the bubbler on. I think Im down to about 6 now.
Could not enough oxygen caused the others to die?
And how long does it take for a fry to morth to say about a half inch long?
Im doing this just for fun to see how they grow, not sure what I will do with them after they grow up if they last that long. Probably have to give them to a friend' s pond.
Id love to know any advice anyone would have.
Ive given them just a little flake food once a day, is that okay?
thanks everyone!
