    I am working on it. I have the Piwo Cobalts cleaning their brand new cone from Barb and the T-Aqua RTs will span in about 3 days. I am sad to say that I only have 8 fry in my tanks. They are hanging out with my YD female. I am not sure if they are all YDs or if I might have a T-Aqua RT or two in there. Both pairs had about 7 wrigglers so I threw them all together with the YD female. I will post a picture tonight because they are kinda cute.

    Here is my YD female with her small brood of hoodlums. It looks like there are 3 T-Aqua RTs in the group.

    OK my small pretend hatchery seems to be working just fine. Please see the word "pretend" Chad............lol Because it is not growing any bigger.



    Oh and notice the different color on my YD female when I changed the LED lighting. She is now seriously orange under that light and my SS have turned more red. Interesting lights.

    I don't think there is a size limit on a hatchery. Could be a single tank as long as it produces.

    Isn't LED light awesome?

    OK..... you can't say it was a COMPLETE accident.... Falling down the stairs is a complete accident as long as you weren't pushed. LOL!

    You made some changes on purpose so give yourself a little credit lady!

    It was an accident. Kinda like forgetting to take the pill. All tanks had a TDS of well over 100 with the exception of The Abstainers(the SS). I was trying to get them to just clean the cone and that did not happen until I got their TDS down to 29 and threatened them with a knife. All of a sudden all of the fish spawned. An accident I tell you but I will give myself credit for playing with the TDS after the others spawned to see if any would hatch!! And that is one accident that will not be repeated on a group of 7 pairs.....lol Unless we move the all to Walter's house.
