HELP!!! Fry dying and refusing to eat...

Post by Sid Guppy »

Right now I'm trying to keep Hoplo-nest no#3 alive, but again without much succes.
Although I succeeded finally in keeping the eggs fungus-free with acriflavine; now the fry doesn't eat.
I feed with microworms and fresh hatched babybrine, and change the water 1/2 every day, using aquasafe on the fresh water (just a bit).
the fry lies just motionless on the bottom of the tank, their bellies get bloodred and then they die.
I'm running out of clues here, so any suggestions are helpful!!
Plan B should not automatically be twice as much explosives as Plan A
