Hello,

Congrats on the fry! What are your means of filtration? could be many things, but if your fry are always on top of the water heavily breathing, add aeration of somekind. An air stone helps unless you already have sponge filter. What is the temperature of your tank also? Do daily water changes (10%- or so) and keep feeding them. What is their diet so far?

eerrr....i have just installed sponge filter! hehehe! but before that i change water for quite some times a week! ive been feeding them microworm n sometimes baby brine shrimp!! for temperature! im not sure cos i dun really care about it,our warm climate in Malaysia keeps the water at constant temp. n so,most of the aquarist in Malaysia doesnt really care about the temp.!

Gotta be water quality

i agree with dave. its probably water quality then. more frequent water changes to help ith the feedings will help in the fry development.
