Black moor fry

First of all i would like to say hi,
i have been browsing these forums for a while and finally decided to register.

About 1.5 months ago my moors laid eggs which i decided to breed
This is my first ever attempt in doing this so i made sure i found all necessary information that i could. I have to say that i am quite happy with the results!


Basic information:
FEEDING: 3 times per day with live artemia (DIY setup with 2 bottles for continuous supply)
QUANTITY: started with about 30 or so and 25 were left after 2-3 days when they starting having interest in food. Since then they have been getting artemia and only two have died ever since.
TANK: UNDER CONSTRUCTION! DIY Tank 101x41x50cm. The tank is already built but i am restoring it. In the meantime the fry has been kept in a large bucket ~10 liters of water. Although it is quite small they seem to have been doing fine until now. Soon the 180liter tank will be finished and form their new house.
MAINTAINANCE: Daily water changes and 2 times per day i siphon the poo out


Here are some of the photos of their progress:

The parents!

The eggs in the tank

After 1 week - Fish in a glass during cleanup. Note the orange stomach from the artemia;D

More to come as they grow!

Cool

 

what a trip. I can't believe they look like that at that stage. So different from the adults. At what point do they turn black and their eyes start popping out?

 

those buggers grow really fast!
if i look carefully i can already see their eyes popping out a little..not much though

as about turning black i expect it to start happening within 2-3weeks or so..

honestly i cant wait!

 

Update on the moors!

7weeks old

I can definitely see that they have grown big bellies and they have started getting some color. Some of them are darker and their top is turning gold/dark green.

Excuse them for the poo but im still trying to teach them some manners




Sadly enough there are a few that are underdeveloped but it was expected to happen anyway

 

These are one my favorite goldfish (can't see pics so I'm assuming moor goldfish)

 

i edited the above post and attached the pics on the forum
i hope you can see them now

 

Awesome!! I can see them now

I love those little guys! If my tank were a fresh, it would full of them
