Pond bred Fantails
Hi
My Fantails spawned in the potted weeds. I moved the pots to a section of the pond that has no other fish in it, & a number of babies have hatched a week ago. They seem to be doing OK but I am wondering if /when/what I should be doing about feeding them. Can they survive on the mico-organisms in the pond water & if so for how long? Thanks for any response Pat |

Thanks for any response Pat Depending on how many you have in the area. A fish farmer that used to advise us here recommended boiled egg yolk as a good supplement, but they really get their start on microaquatics. Regards, Hal |

Thanks for any response ========================= How many are there and how many gallons is the pond area they're in? If there are many hundreds of fry they will need feeding unless the pond area is large, say 1000g or more with a lot of plants. -- KL.... Frugal ponding since 1995.
