New Pair

[RogueDiscus]

I came home from NADA to three pairs with fry. Two of them had fry before, but I was holding off supporting them until after the show. The third was a new pair I had been hoping would form. They are a Red Snakeskin female I got from Kenny about a year ago, and a Lim Pei Hao Alenquer Cross I got from him maybe a year and a half ago. The AC is a beautiful chocolate brown with some forehead markings. He's not the best shape, but I'm taking a chance on seeing what I get from them!
There were only a few of the first fry left in their community situation, but I've since separated them and they spawned again last evening.

A few quick phone pics.

Nice Steve...you should go away more often ;)

Good pics. I was interested to see the spawning tube on the AC, as well as the short ventral fins. I would have picked that as a female. Just goes to show how hard they are to sex.

Honestly, I didn't see them spawn, so the sexes were just my guess. You may be right. I'll hopefully catch them next time.

Very nice Steve - it seems you have some work ahead of you - that's what you get for taking a few days off to go to a NADA show ! LOL

Could be some very nice off spring. Congrats.

[RogueDiscus]

Thanks Larry. That's actually the AC I asked you about using a while back, if you recall.

Thanks Paul. They seem to like it when you leave their water alone, even though they hadn't been fed.

Congratulations Steve, I had two doses while at NADA but the male did a terrible job, best of luck to you

You can see, this doesn't seem to be a large batch to begin with, and they've been picking at it. Will be interesting to see how many hatch, and whether the parents support them.
