<p> Thanks anyway. for some reason i am not getting emails from this discussion or i would have replied sooner (and yes supposedly i am subscibed to the conversation). anyway yea that is wat i thought they were. u think the other things look like eggs? or is it a part of the anatomy? i am actually thinking that this fish was male because it had those things sticking out of its head like the males do, but i am not sure.</p>

<p>balloon looking things are probably something like swim bladders and I do believe some fish diseases involve problems with them and the inability to control them anymore thus the bloated appearance of the fish.</p>

<p>Not that I can make anything of it either but thank you for sharing your troubles and the pictures.</p>

<p>put some netting up near the surface but in the water along the edge of the tank and the swim up fry can hide among that if you are really worried about them.</p>

<p> so it has come to my attention that a pvc pipe could be used in the main tank for the babies to hide in? anyone know about this? it would be awfully convenient since i, obviously, have plenty of spare pvc lying around. the concern i would have though is that i hear the fish can not really swim the first several days also they seem to like to hang out at the top of the tank and i wonder if they would actually go in to a pipe that was set at the bottom of the tank.</p>

<p> yea, sorry, so i guess the question is... how concerned should i be about the water in the fry tank? i did not get a chance to add much fresh water. my plan was to fill the bucket with fresh water a bit at a time and i thought that would be good enough, but now it is filled to the top with water from the tank. i tried to scoop out some of the water, but I couldn't do it without also scooping out babies. any suggestions? or should i not worry about it?</p>
<p> also i guess i kinda fibbed…</p>

<p> also i guess i kinda fibbed about buying baby brine shrimp to feed them. the store was out and now i do not have enough $ to get any until Mon. i have been feeding them crushed pellets. is that going to be ok? I am also out of eggs so egg yolks would not be an option at the moment either.<br/> <br/> <cite>TCLynx said:</cite></p>
