Fry update 3

Just thought want to post their pictures. Growing strong and nice. We managed to kill about 100 of them or so though. On every given day since last 3 or 4 days, there had been at least 20-30 fry died and syphoned from the bottom of the tank. They died cause of choking, eating way-too-long live worms !! We're running out of mozzie larvae too, if anyone out there "harvest" mozzies, do let us know and perhaps we can arrange something :)

Unfortunately, usually the ones died are the bigger ones :( Oh well, you gain some, you loose some. With that kind of rate, we think we still have a good 400 of them there, at least. It's a catch 22. Without the worms, most of them will go starving when we're not around feeding them. With the worms, there are bound to be some "acceptable" deaths. In the old days, we used to have time to chop the worms into smaller pieces. These days, we're just way too busy and not having much of the luxuries to do that anymore. Perhaps it is so true, as the saying said, survival of the fittest :)

Anyway, 'nough saying, here's the pic.
