F2 offspring..My first fry tank in a Long time

[brewmaster15]

Hi all,
I haven't updated this thread in a bit. Thought I would now. My F2 wild crosses are doing well. I have 9 in a 125 gal and they are doing awesome. I had been away on vacation last week for 9 days and while gone I had our Pet sitter feed these fish 1 small scoop of my DIscus Chow Pellets daily in the morning. Usually If I go away I don't feed at all but these are small fry and really need food daily.

To date, These have only been fed live BBS as fry and then maybe a few days of my FDBW fry fines to transition from Baby Brine Shrimp to my .8 mm Discus Chow Pellets. Currently they are eating the 1mm pellets.

I wish I had more than these few fry but am Hopeful that soon I will a really good spawn. This batch was really just pulled and raised on a whim as there were only around 20 fry to start.

You have a great albeit small bunch. I couldn't take my eyes off the SS in front of the sponge in the 3rd pic. That's him in the second pic, too. Now that one is a true beauty. Will you be keeping these yourself, of will you be selling them?

Liz this batch is for grow out for breeding , Next batch you know you have some coming your way.

[LizStreithorst]

Thank you, Al. I was just admiring an outstanding fish. I know that you know what I want and I know that I can count on you to sell me some when you have them.

I was about to say the same thing as Liz. I couldn't tell if it was just me, but from a bunch of fry images I've seen posted on other sites, these looked excellent. They're sure to turn out great!

Incredible quality on the pictures, I enjoy the eyes on these guys a lot but the longer you stare at the patterns the more there seems to be . Wonderful school!
