Wow, this is really incredible to see. I can’t get over how much they’ve grown. Beautiful fish Sanjay!

I almost replied to an earlier post about culling the smaller ones, but this is why I didn't. Not all the ones that grow a bit slower are runts, and sometimes they are ones that have interesting phenotypes within the group. I've tried to encourage those when I can, just to see what the turn into.

That's right they are pigeons :) I did mention that in my post that there are fry from melons. They are about 7-10 days apart so the difference in growth, melon babies were raised by the parents and the brown based ones were raised artificially.
I really liked the outcome of how this turned out, I will shoot a video soon on this tank so we all can see what I'm talking about :)

I have seen almost no culls in the batch I raised artificially all looked healthy, some are smaller than the rest which I think is common and would wait to see how they catch up.
Re: Artificial Raising fry project (my first time)
Great job so far Sanjay...do you have any pics of the golden pair?

Thanks Daniel, I did open a thread for the other melons pair-
In the thread I mentioned Golden Rafflesia, but I learnt that its a yellow panada(female).

Patty, that's right! Larger ones were artificially raised. They are also about a week older than the ones(melons) raised by parents.
Re: Artificial Raising fry project (my first time)
Wow Sanjay, that makes it even more impressive! Congratulations on being such a great discus keeper!

Thank you :)
I have more projects lined up with a bunch of new pairs. I have to start a thread for them all I think haha
Re: Artificial Raising fry project (my first time)
Well I’ll be watching them as I’m fascinated with the whole process. I’ve bred cichlids before but they did all the work. This is crazy hard work and looking at what you accomplished your 1st time is amazing to me. Sounds like you’ll have a lot of threads! Ha ha I hope you’ll keep posting on your current ones. It’s a great thread!
