So what can 314 .......

So what can 314 one month old babies do to a parent in 12 hours......

This spawn was decent size but they have been eating BH for a long time and really have not been eating off of the parents much. I am a little short on tank space right now. I should not complain I have 16 75 gallon tanks running but they are all full. I have 8 others that I need to repair or plumb in.....anyway since the parents have not been showing any signs of stress I have not worried to much about it. Now that deer season is over I will be home on the weekends and planned on pulling the fry on Saturday. Looks like I pushed my luck to far...LOL. The fish will heal up fine but her days as a show fish are probably over.....

Oh and the water is not that dirty. I have not cleaned the glass in quite a while...

Good lord John......waited a little long LOL...Josie

they do get agressively hungry...........

Looks like it took a litte damage to the hard rays......I had this happen to one of my goldens, no other damage, just the tips of two-three hard rays which I found odd.....

Not sure what started the feeding frenzy but hey that is just how it goes sometimes.

This is what she looked like before.

Are you sure that batch is not a result of a piranha cross?

wow, how old are the fry john?

piranha? Those are illegal in Texas and I would never do anything illegal.....LOL.

Dan they are roughly 1 month old.

Rode hard and put away wet.

Yep and I just came from the fish house and they are cleaning the damned breeding cone as we speak....LOL.

-john

Connection from home is too slow to really upload pics but here is what they were doing last night......I really was serious about them back on the cone. If they spawn in the next day or so I guess I will move the eggs to another pair.

Dam John, do you actually have 11" fish?

ps. I don't think they will spawn for a couple of days yet, gonna take them at least that long to clean the cone (jk).

;)

Rick, what makes you think that's for his fish? Have you not received an invitation to one of his "parties" yet?

LOL... that was a good one :)

LOL....People don't like algae much but you know what? I have never met a fish that had much problems with it...

I do normally wipe down the glass after I pull a spawn but my wife is out of town until Sunday so I have been pulling double duty around the house so the wipe down will have to wait until tomorrow.....of course smart *** Dan could come over and lend a hand....I mean it is not like I built the racks for his fish tanks ar anything.....LOL.

There you go Dan there is your invite to John's party :)

I know what you mean. My Cuipeuas started breeding only after I abandoned them for 16 days because of a trip and the tank and the cone was covered by algae...
