Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Hatching perch?

One thing I thought I would ask.

We would put a blue dye in to limit the light getting to the angel fish eggs. After they hatch we would then move them to a tank with out the blue dye.

I read on here that the perch ribbons needed or was protected by the UV light naturally. Is the blue dye needed? Just place the ribbons into a tank and keep it warm with good air and they will be fine?

We have water we can pull from our tropical fish tank that is aged and will get pulled into the foam filter right away.

Cheers Don.
