HI LEE,
with my b/n i usally leave in the adults tank,
i only do a 10-15% water change once a week.
feed them half cooked zuccini.
and i dont loose any, that works for me.

cheers dave.

yep,
dave is on the money there.
with the zuchini i just put it in a container and pour boiling water on it and leave it for a minute. just stick a knive in it to make it sink.
make sure you take it out after 12 hours tho and put a fresh one in.

cheers

I find that raw zuchinni is just as good and lasts for up to 5 days before it  as any effect on the water, but its usually gone in 24hours.

i dont do a water change for 2 weeks after the fry emerge, i just leave em in the tub until i feel energetic enough to pull it apart.
