The fry will be my first fry home bred fry who will not be infected with parasites. I can't wait to see what I get from them. If they trow albinos what other weird gene could be hiding in them.
I saw no white babies swimming around this morning. It was killing me not to be able to see my most important fish. I turned on all the normal lights. I can't tell how many fry I have for sure but it could be as few as a dozen. Dad takes care of them mom seems to totally ignore them and they her. Surely they will spawn again and eat these. Next time they will know what they're doing and there will be more fry so I'm fine with it.
It's strange to me that these fish have been so hard to get breeding. I used to have Discus that bred easily. First time, BOOM a gazillion fry. I have no clue why these are so hard. Their father was hard but he had an excuse.
