Title: Fry Box Question
Post by: Matt1628 on March 06, 2015, 10:23:03 AM

So I noticed one of my peacocks holding for the first time three days ago. Last night I decided to put my new egg rocker to use so I stripped her.  Much to my surprise,  :o when I stripped, out swam 25 fry with eyes, tails, and just a little bit of the egg sac left.  I wasn't prepared for that and I did not have anything setup for them, thinking they would be in the rocker for atleast 2 more weeks.  I put them in a 20gal tank grow out tank with 0.5-.075" Julidochromis regani. The Julies overnight ate five, the rest of the fry are hiding under rocks where the Julies can't get.  My question is, can anyone recommend a fry box to hold such small fry till they get some size on them that they can hold their own? 

Thanks,

Matt
