Good Job Dave,


Glad to see there working out.

I removed the male. He barely allowed the fry to feed and then he began attacking them. He'd take them into his mouth and spit them out so it was bye-bye Dad. He's in a Child & Family Services rehabilitation program now. The female is doing fine and the fry are feeding on live bbs as well as side-feeding. There seems to be good uniform growth so far. The eggs were laid on Nov 23, hatched on Nov 26, free-swimming on Nov 28 and these pics are from Dec 8.

Do you have any room left for grow outs?
Carol

Yeah, I've chosen the Gold Pigeon S/S & Red Melons from the fish I bought a couple of months ago and have sold all but 6 of what's left. I'm growing out some fry that I got from Cary and then I have these fry. I could move some of my larger adolescents to my 180g tank which currently only has 10 adults in it. If necessary I could free up a 65g, 55g and a 30g tank for growout. I had another pair spawn in my 180g tank on Friday but the eggs were eaten so they've been moved to a 30g. And my Red Melon / Tangerine pair just laid eggs today but the male munched on them. I guess if all potential pairs became successful I could be in trouble but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

Looking good Dave
You may have to postpone that trip to grandma's house this Christmas, cause it could be a Merry lil' Christmas at your house
Good Luck

Very nice pix. Those fry are huge! I just saw them,... what two days ago?! Significant growth for sure. Nice going.
