Scarlet Badis Fry
« on: December 15, 2009, 02:06:27 PM »
I realize there's a similiar thread below but wasn't sure if it would count as a sort of thread-jacking or not >.>. Anyway, finally managed to get my hands on 4 pairs of Scarlet Badis, my question is concerning fry size after they hatch. Would anyone know if they'd be about guppy fry size? Or smaller than that?

I think they will be much smaller than guppy fry size because livebearer fry tend to be larger as they are more well-developed than egg-layers.

They're really teeny.  Infusoria is, I believe, their recommended first food. A mature tank is your best bet, or well established sponge filters.

Ah I figured as much, thanks Cholly and Yipee :). I'm used to livebearers more than anything else, the tank has been up for a year and is planted so the Infusoria shouldn't be a problem.

Sounds like you're on the right track then. :up:
