Fry Dead / Dying!!!

by **lilacamy931** on Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:39 pm

Most of them are dead and one has a little bit of a wiggle left, but need help! Not sure what to do or what is wrong, got told to not feed them till today and so unsure what to do, the fry i have found that is alive is really weak! crying

Start trying to feed it. I think you already have the live foods?

by **kizno1** on Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:43 pm

do they have a yolk sack you should feed them when the yolk sack gose

by **lilacamy931** on Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:47 pm

Its just great the live foods havent arrived, I have put some powdered food in, I asked on the cory forums as cant tell if egg sac gone or not, and had advice to wait two days which I have.. the others are definately dead and dont hold much hope on this last one..poor poor little thing

So sorry Amy...that's such a shame. Fingers crossed the others are ok.

Had a thorough check only one, have put moss ball, bit of filter in, he is in a small tub with airstone at the moment, siphoning dead siblings out will put him back in to keep warm in a bit..thanks so much for the help guys, they were doing really well (all fine this morning) and feel a complete failure, bad end to a bad day..

Small positive update, the fry supplied with air bubbler, two moss balls, filter smudge, etc has righted it self and fanning side fins will see how he goes in the morning..

Awww good luck with the little one Amy...I've got my fingers crossed for him.

I know it's awful losing fry but it's natures way so the fittest survive.
