My Flower horn laid eggs what should i do? what should i feed if the eggs hatched?

Well you have two choices of doing with eggs. One is to artificially take care of it. This means that you will have the responsibility to keep the eggs clean and prevent fungus spread of all the eggs. The other choice is to let the parents take care of it. But most of the time (especially with inexperience parents) the parents would eat the eggs. I don't have an explanation of why this happens, but it is common.





When the eggs hatch, you don't need to feed it yet. It still has their yolks so thats their source of nutrients. After 3-5 days though, they would become free swimming and their yolks would be used up. Thats the time you start feeding them with finely crushed flakes or baby brine shrimp.

Reply:Were the eggs fertilized (is there a male in the tank?) If so, make sure the temperature is set to 80 - 82 degrees. Flowerhorn cichlids are usually very good parents once you gotten you Flowerhorn fish to breed. They guard their egg and fry fiercely. The fry is relatively large and will accept newly hatched brine shrimp once they are born. After a week or two you can start to feed the fry crushed flake food and pellets.


The potential problems that can surround Flowerhorn breeding is not over just because the fish spawned and the eggs have hatched. You will still have to keep a close eye on the fish since the male sometimes becomes aggressive towards the female and guards the fry from the female. The female must in such situations be removed or she will most likely be killed.affiliate
