Though the batch may be small my Red Scarlets actually produced 22 wrigglers for their first time since coming to me. They should end up as a snack soon, but hey signs of new life in the fish room.

It is indeed a good feeling to see some breeding action after going for a while without any. Brings back that old excitement we used to feel!!

Congratulations. I've got a pair that's been quite content to raise small batches, and they're easier to keep up with. Maybe you'll get lucky.

It totally does! I was so excited to see those eggs get darker! Actually I am lying I was tickled pink.

I see you filled the space that I left behind Al. How is the breeding going with you?

Mishka

Oh and they still have not eaten them.

Thank you Akili and Smartinich.

When I read the bit about the 22 wrigglers should be a snack soon it really made me laugh. I have a new set of BD parents that recently progressed the furthest they had with a batch. Got free swimmers finally but no attachment. :( Several days on and most had died when a few decided to half-a$$ attach. Now after about 6 weeks, if memory serves me correctly, they're still taking care of 3 juvies. If I wasn't about to be entering my couple of months of traveling for work I'd be annoyed or have done something about it, but since I don't really want to deal with fry at the moment I said the heck with it and let them go. Perhaps the smallest "successful" batch of fry in SD history. lol

Funny that you should mention that. I thought for sure they would be a snack but don.t you know however many survived of the cone are attaching. Second smallest batch in SD history?

Mishka - looks like if it's not 6 or less you're only in competition for the bronze medal.

Come to think of it Rick mt first ever discus who were aptly named Ike and Tina due to the beatins they used to hand each other raised 6. That's how I caught the bug. It looks like it will be a bronze for me unless I get under 6 of them to grow out, which I have no intention of doing Keith.

Well I didn't plan on growing out 3 either, but they had different plans. They started picking at Al's cubes and the beef heart so it was either let them go or cull them. Not really wanting fry at the moment, it sort of worked out.

The snack happens when the pair decides to spawn again.
