DotAlbo · 11/29/2008, 04:44 AM

Hi guys, i asked this question before when my bi-color blenny breed the first time. All fry died the first time and now they breed again! What should i do? if i just leave it in the main tank it wil just be food for my fish and coral. Should i remove them? what should i feed it with?

thanks,

do i raise them like clown fish?

also i witnessed my coral banded shrimp spawn last night, will the larva survive in tank? what should i feed them with?? So many things happening lol....

No they will be eaten by your other inhabintants. ( coral banded) Unless you have a constant supply of live food to feed the fry and a seperate tank, i would leave the baby blennies in there with the parents

thanks nikon, so the parent will protect the small blennies?

I do believe they will, you might even get some mouth brooding going there. that would be cool !

How long have you had that tank? I can't believe you have breeding critters! That is so cool! What are your params? i want all the details!

running for 6 month and all params looks good except my no3 is getting bit high around 40ppm and i couldnt get it down....

My magnifica anemone is splitting too! lol, looks like everything is spawning.

I have lost the male

it got sucked in to the wave maker....now there is no male looking after the hundreds of eggs....

Do bi-color blenny form breeding pair by changing sex them self or i need to find another male?

its a bad day...bad wave maker!
