I like the 3rd and 5th ones best.

I'm really hoping I get another spawn in the next week. After that its going to get very hard for me to raise fry for the next few months. Summers are when we do our family vacations and I am camping alot, I am running out of time to get them to the point where I can leave their care to others. Its a bummer really but can't be helped.

The same pair or a different pair?

The same pair or a different pair?

have two pairs spawning ...one is the same pair, the other is a sibling pair, but the male just isn't fertilizing. He knows kind of what to do, but theres nothing there.. The female of that pair I know is fertile.

Frustrating, isn't it? Are they blue based or red based? I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait until hell freezes over for the blue based that I crave.

[brewmaster15]

Blue..

Perfect. I'd be willing to wait till hell freezes over, but I hope dad's hormones kick in like now.

[brewmaster15]

Going to hate to leave these guys for a weeks vacation, only have 2 weeks to put more size on them and then while I am away they will get 2 feedings a day That I will pre-measure .. no water changes. I will however move them to a 125 next week so they will have a ton of room and good water. For Food... Just Discus Chow since last week.... Its the easiest thing for when I am away and the fry love it as much as blackworms.

They look great, Al. It's a shame that you have to leave them but you are doing the best thing for them while you are away. I bet they'll put on a big growth spurt after your back home for a week.

Damn Al, I missed this thread. They are looking great. Your vaca plan sounds like a good one
