Goldfish fry day 3 12.02.2013

It's amazing to see how active some of the fry are. :O It's completely different to the last batch of fry. I wonder if they are more active because of the change in temperature. It is the only thing we've changed. Last time we had it 20.5C/70.5F. Now the water temperature is 22C/71.6F. Difference 1.5.  They are so more active. It's very nice to see.  I would recommend the higher temperature.

We've fed the fry some liguid egg yolk last night and this morning. They are not very interested in it yet, but maybe they do not really know what they are suppossed to do with it. They seemed a bit more swimming around the egg yolk this morning. Last night one of them was having a look.
They do not know it's food yet. We keep on trying. 

We've made they liguid egg yolk by boiling a chicken egg for 10minutes. Removed half of the egg yolk and put it in a cup with some water. Mix it very well.
Then sieve the mixture to separed the solid materials from the liquid. The fry can only eat microscopic food contained in the liquid sieved mixture. >.< what a pain.

Going to do a 50% water change around 12:00 to removed all the egg yolk they didn't eat. Sight. PPfffff. Happy when they finally are a little bit bigger. First some homework. :) :P 


Ohhh! One thing! Some of the fry have ittybitty little tiny fins :D It's so cuute. Like this:
