Tips on how to manage catfish fries:

1).Maintain good water quality. This is the most important factor in keeping catfish fries healthy and alive. The water should be clean, clear, and free of pollutants.

The pH should be between 6.5 and 7.5, and the temperature should be between 24 and 29 degrees Celsius.


2). Feed the fries regularly. Newly hatched fries should be fed several times a day, at a rate of 6-10% of their body weight. As they grow older, they can be fed less often.

Feed them a high-quality fry food that is specifically formulated for catfish.


3). Avoid overfeeding. Overfeeding can lead to water quality problems and make the fish susceptible to disease. Only feed the fries as much as they can eat in a few minutes.


4). Remove waste regularly. Catfish fries produce a lot of waste, which can pollute the water. Remove the waste from the tank or pond regularly to keep the water clean.


5). Protect the fries from predators. Catfish fries are small and vulnerable to predators, such as birds, turtles, and other fish. Protect them by covering the tank or pond with a fine mesh.


6). Monitor the fish closely. Keep an eye on the fish for signs of illness or stress. If you notice any problems, take action immediately.


7). Provide them with plenty of oxygen. This can be done by aeration or by circulating the water.


. Add plants to the tank or pond. The plants will help to improve the water quality and provide the fish with hiding places.


9). Keep the water temperature consistent. Fluctuations in temperature can stress the fish and slow their growth.


10). Provide the fish with a balanced diet. This includes a variety of live (daphna), Atemia, and dry foods.

By following these tips, you can help your catfish fries grow healthy and strong.
