but once the fries hatch, how long do you intend to keep them in cool water? |

Hi All...thanks for the fine compliments...hopefully by sharing, I get inputs to improve myself and also hopefully draw more players to join in the fun and art of ranchu breeding. Take ranchu like landscape painters...many artists who paint are just plain hobbyist painters...they do it because they enjoy painting...to be creative, to relax, to enjoy trying to replicate the landscape being drawn and most important of all...to express themselves through the fine art painting. Not many painters draw and hope that they are the next Picasso and sell their arts...artists do it because they enjoy painting. Ranchu breeders breed because they enjoy breeding and hope to produce something "beautiful" like A Rose amongst all the thorns

Cooler water also helps the structural formation of the young fries especially the opening up of the tail...too warm water.... fries tail as it gets older will show significant weaknesses. Since I don't have a spare aircon room for fries and since I use chiller to cool the water, I will keep the fries in chilled water till free swimming...which is roughly 24 hours after hatching. Once free swimming, I will start feeding them brine shrimps and that is the moment I have to be observant because once fries start eating they will excrete waste and furthermore the live brine shrimps will die and foul the water. I usually off the chiller and let the water temperature rises to room temperature and do a 100% water change by transferring the fries into my guppy tubs....if big spawn I might have to open up two guppy tubs to accommodate all the fries. To maintain water coolness, I uses computer fans to blow over the guppy tubs 24 hours a day. Hope this help answer your query. Please note I am just a normal Hdb ranchu breeder and what I posted and share are mainly catered to apartment dwellers with limited space, but have a strong urge to learn and challenge oneself in the "Fine art of ranchu breeding" |
