my pair of checkerboard pearls

[limige]

Heres a wonderful pair of turqs I got a while back from chicago discus.
Took me awhile to realize my well water has way too much calcium or something, after mixing straight RO with RO right I was finally able to get a great spawn and they successfully attached today! Whoohoo!

Been a long time since ive had fry going. Just wanted to share and say thank you again for this wonderful pair.

Congratulations on the spawn. They have great parenting traits!!! I also have one the checkerboard females from last year May shipment. Mine ended up pairing up with a cobalt blue that I no longer have but was able to raise a few batch and keep some for future breeding, here's what they look like... 8638586387
