My newly added electric blue balloon rams and endler's both gave me fry in the past week. I was surprised when the rams laid eggs. I was even more surprised when they hatched. I had around 40+ little guys swimming around. But at the end of the second day, their numbers dwindled until there were none left. All 8 of the endler fry are still alive though. They're swimming around in my 20 gallon long near the top, relatively unscathed.
Next time my rams have eggs and they hatch, I want to be prepared. Is a 10 gallon aquarium big enough to be a fry tank? Should I keep it planted or just put a bunch of java moss in it? I have a 10 gallon that's already cycled, but it has an infestation of pond snails. Once I get rid of that, I think I'm going to make it into my fry tank. Are there any tips of raising ram fry or fry in general?
Here are some pictures. They were taken with my phone and one was with dirty algae covered glass.
