My Mixed Bag

[Second Hand Pat]

This group consists of the four young Tefe's from Marks April shipment and the Altum Floras I received from Kenny in December 2013. As you can see the Album Floras have grown nicely. One is still a bit behind the other three. Two of the Album Floras have paired and had their first spawn the other day. So this group is half wild and half domestic.

Thanks Rick, funny thing is the two groups mainly interact within each group, not so much across the groups.

[Second Hand Pat]

Marnie, introduce one of your leopards to the Tefe group first as a hero fish.

[musicmarn1]

[Second Hand Pat]

Marnie, silly question? Why break up a group of wilds to add domestics? Just curious?

OC, can you see this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPFY1Igqva4. If so click on it to see the video. If you can not see the link then there is something with your setup which is preventing you from seeing it.

Looking good. What are they eating?

The Album Flora pair I mentioned in the first post spawned again last night. My sister was visiting from out of town and she watched them spawn. She has never seen anything like that and was in awe. The pair despite their youth is doing a rather nice job of parenting. We are 24 hours in and they have most of their spawn with a few white eggs. I will post a video shortly and you will see that they are in a community setting with my tap water. I will be happy to confirm the pair should the eggs make it into the third day. I have no intention of allowing the pair to raise fry at this point as they still have some growing to do.

[Second Hand Pat]

Here the video. It is not quite done with the audio.

At the 48 hour mark on the pair and not only do we still have eggs and they are also dark. Not bad for 11 month old fish on their second spawn. There are about 30 to 50 eggs still on the cone.

[Second Hand Pat]

This morning the cone was clean.

Thanks Rick, funny thing is the two groups mainly interact within each group, not so much across the groups.

Two separate groups that only interact within themselves - I think you should name this tank the Middle School Dance Tank. haha

With as randy as the AFs are it would be more like high school.

On another note the Tefes moved to their new home. Pictures on that tonight.
