Yellow Lab Fry question

[phoenixbetta]

I was wondering when is it ok or safe to put the babies into the tank with other africans such as : yellow/blue/white lab adults, some peacoks adults, zebras....
They are about 1-1.5 inch, or at least 8 are...

Re: Yellow Lab Fry question

I put them together with adults at 1.5" with no problems. Rescape when you add the new fish. It all depends on your other fish and how aggressive they are/ how big the tank is/ how many are already in the tank/ etc. In short, there is no way to say 100% for certain. I take all decorations out and do a water change when I add new fish. I think it helps. Keeping the light off for a while after introduction of the new fish helps as well.

Re: Yellow Lab Fry question

i added my 6 exasperatus fry (~1.5") last week to the main tank where i have adult red zebras, yellow labs, convicts etc. and they have been fine, in fact the adults pretty much ignore the fries. i did do a rescape and water change at the same time as well, but i am sure, as in with most cichlid/fish things, it all depends on the combination and actual fish
