peace, fry

[Mushroomman]

i used to have about 10 fry, and i cleaned their tank today and found only 3 . well, there goes my plan on selling them... i have an aunt who said she would take them once they get bigger... well, this sucks. does anyone know how often koi spawn in a season? what's weird is they just "dissapeared"- they are too small to leave bodies. oh well.

did you look in the filters?, iv found corys, jd, convicts all alive in my filters before and the corys where in there from hatch too .5"

[Mushroomman]

no filter, just an airstone.
i feed them liquifry for egglayers
the water was warm
the tank was covered
i don't know why they died. maybe a disease? i cleaned the tank ,so any disease should be gone. yeah i heard of the infamous "filter living" some fry do, but thats easily ruled out- no filter.

mabey there hidding in the gravel?

[Mushroomman]

no gravel, it's bare exept a little clay cup. hmmm... real brainbuster, eh?

[PreciousGems]

Any snails in the tank? My big apple snail eats all of the fish in my tank when they die immediately. So I can never tell how my fish died, just that they're gone.

[Mushroomman]

nope, just the fry, the airstone, and the pot.

the only thing i can think of now is them some how jumping out or canibalisim if there yoke sac is gone.

[Mushroomman]

can't jump out, the water level is >4 inches away from the top. your prolly right, they most likely ate each other for some reason. that's the only thing i can think of too.

see if you can get some baby brine shrimp if there big enuff, mabey there not eating the food your trying, even grind up some flake foods for them.
