babies not realy swimming

[trev1]

i have a nice new pair of taeniatus bandwari and they have there first group of fry. This is the problem, i have some scarlet kribs that are with babies and they actually swim like normal fish but these others kind of stay close to or on the bottom. they are eating and growing but they hop more than swim...
Sometimes there is the odd one that looks like it is swimming but they for the most part, staying on the bottom. They seem very cautious and timid. Both parents are right over them..
any help would be great,
thanks
Trevor

my suggestion would be to be patient and wait, about 7 days . time will allow them to swim and yes they are very cautious . keep on reporting...cheers jk

I agree... taeniatus fry hug the bottom pretty tightly for the first couple weeks.
