I know I’ve talked about it in the what you doing today thread, but figure there might be some who are more aquarium oriented than pond, so I’m adding a thread here.
I’m raising a late batch of fry in the aquarium over winter. On well water so tap water is same water as I fill the pond/ pool. I’ve got 12 babies in what I’m guessing is a 40 gal tank, with a frog. The frog was thriving in my outdoor aquarium where I kept aquatic plants I didn’t want the fish eating all of, so when I dumped it, it was too cold to just kick out, so it came in. Not sure what kind of frog, but he’s / it’s been in over a week and isn’t messing with the fish. My old in tank filter thing doesn’t have an outlet, so I’ll be making a water bottle/ airline filter thing. YouTube had some great designs! And I’ll be taking a few cuttings of pothos to pull waste from the water, as well as some spider plants.
Has anyone else raised a batch of fry like this? I figure I’ll kick them over to the pond come spring, and use it as a quarantine or raise another batch of fry.
I just moved the fry from a 10 gal to the 40 gal last night, and the fry seem to like to hide. I guess it’s a bit of a shock to have so much space.
