Ok for the past 3 frys from my Cockato F/Red and my Gold pair cockato's. I get at least 20% of my full reds fry is gold. Well all of them dyi. Then My gold pair every time I get fry from them the fry dyis with in the frist week of either free swimming or just shortly after free swimming. All the golds dyi. Is it just that hard to hatch and keep golds alive?

I've heard this from several people that gold fry just have a harder time surving. Is there something i can do differnt to insure they make it longer or make it period?
I've tryed hatching in same water from the tank in a hatchery and even letting the female keep them. No matter what I do the fry dyi.

They could be weaker than the regular ones. Ablino angel fry are very hard to raise ie a weaker strain that seem to need special care.

I'm not sure if you seperated out the tiny fry and put the golds in a 5g with a filter and fed them micro worms if they would do better. Are the fry smaller, or just don't seem to eat?
