The parents are not letting them go without a fight they keep spitting them back on the cone
Witch is the funniest sight to see, making a backflip just to catch a baby

Sorry for the boring posts, but i'm so excited
And not much else to do, because we can't go out because of the corona virus
So i'm kind of glad they decided to go for it
What do you guys and girls think is the best time to start feeding brine shrimp?
there are about 25/30 fry , or do you think the parents can handle it on there own
I started feeding BBS on day 2 or 3 lightly ramping up a little more each day .
I found pouring the BBS right over the fry and parents that some of the shrimp stuck to the parents slime and helped the fry learn about and find them .
The fry grow so fast you could be feeding much more in a week or so ..
I think mine were even nibbling on the freeze dried black worm cube for the parents around day 10 .
Congrats and enjoy ! No need to be sorry it is exciting every time !
so i ended up taking the female out, because she got pushed in the corner al the time
I have about 18 fry left with the dad , i know its not much but its fun for me to watch and gives me something to do in these crazy times
they went freeswimming the 2th of april so they are 4 days now , already eating bbs
Cool Tim. It'll be easy to keep their water clean once you remove dad or transfer the younges'. Have fun reading them mate!!
thx, dad is doing a great job

Sweet!
Good God such a beautiful pair. I love the clean lines of the mother but I really like how there are lines and then it Blends into one solid sheen on the dad. They both have the type of shape I love as well! And don't think for one second that you are boring anyone!

my fry are 1 month old today, there are 14 left and the biggest ones are 1.5 inch
one of them is super submissive and turns black sometimes
They look great Tim !
It seems there is always a runt in every group ?
The one that changes color is the smallest yes ?
Hi Tim, I just took a walk thru your thread and you have really grown these fish out nice and it is so cool to see them pair and make you a "grand" parent if you will. The parents are beautiful and the fry seem to be doing very well
Pat
