Hello every one,
I need advise on how to take care of my Green Severum little ones. I'm new to this fish and I found it much hardy than Discus.
Please help me.

Thank You :help:

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum, how old are the fry, have they just hatched?
If you have room you can leave them in the tank with the parents and see
how they look after the fry, or you can move them to a grow on tank and
let them develop there, keep up the water changes for optimum growth
and feed them baby brine shrimp, micro worms or crushed flake.

Hello Senior Mike,
Thanks for the welcoming. I think they are about 4 days old. I used a box filter for that tank ( 2 feet by 1) especially for that pair. I have removed it, afraid that the filter might suck the fry. I'll do as what you have told me to do and feed them accordingly with crush flakes as I could not find any micro worms here or brine shrimps. Can U teach me how to cultivate the brine shrimps as I tried many times to no avail. Once again thanks for the advice.thumbs2:

keep your fry in as clean of water as possible (people like bare bottom fry tanks cuz it's easier to keep spotless), feed em small amounts but frequently (3 - 4 times a day). As long as they can't be sucked up or eaten, you should do alright. After about a month, they are usually pretty hardy ...........

it has some good tips on feeding fry and even tells
you how to cultivate Baby Brine Shrimp.
