    Two weeks from now if they were domestics I wouldn't be at all concerned about pulling them.

    I pulled Batch A at four weeks and these guys will be a bit over four weeks old two weeks from now so sounds like a plan.

    24 days old and the fry are getting some height on and starting to look like little discus. You can see mom and dad do not like the ipad.

    Here is the video from last night. Little buggers were four weeks old yesterday. They are not dime sized yet and still in with mom and dad in the 230. I plan on leaving them in with mom and dad until after the show in Atlanta as this serves two purposes. It keeps mom from wanting to spawn (hopefully) and makes it easier to care for the fry in the big tank while I am at the show for the caretaker.

    The water parameters are still the same, TDS 45-50, Temp 82, Ph 7.2, GH 4dGH, KH 4dKH and still doing two 50% WCs a week. The fry are eating BBS and fined ground FDBWs which were introduced two days ago.

    Hi Pat.Wonderful again.I think you are never without bugglers.You breed so many discusfish.Amazing.You must have a lot of water ro raise them or have a possibility to sell them if they are a little bigger.

    Hi Marc, you are giving me way too much credit. I only have two spawns, one at four months old (38 juvies) and this one (25/30 fry) just over a month old.

    These guys will be five weeks old tomorrow and I will not be able to do an update tomorrow. I will be heading north to Atlanta for the show and will be back late Sunday so the next update will be Monday.

    Well the fry are six weeks old and finally tonight they have been relocated to their own tank. There are 22 fry in this spawn so I will need to find out if that disqualifies me from the hobbyist challenge contest as Al's guidelines said the initial group was to be 30.

    I will post some pictures tomorrow and let them settle tonight.

    I just watched the video of them above. So cute and healthy Pat! Makes me wish I had some breeders and fry in a big tank like you do. Keep up the good work, I will keep an eye here.

    Thanks Barb, they do seem to be healthy little buggers. They are trying to orient themselves in their new tank tonight so no interest in food.

    I should also add as a documentation point that the water mix in the new tank is 60% RO to 40% tap. I use this as a bridge from the parent's tank water to full up tap water.

    Here is the six week video. They were actually six weeks old yesterday. They are still not settled and only a few are willing to pick at the bottom of the tank. I may put a very lite coating of sand to help them adjust.

    The spawn is fairly uniform with a few smaller ones and I will continue with the 60% RO to 40% tap for WCs as a couple of the fry have tails with a whitest border indicating that I could have acclimated better. I left the sponge filter dirty to ensure enough bio-media for the tank move.

    Pat,
    At that size their tails and fins are fairly delicate. Its not uncommon to see a bit rough at the edges if you netted them,IMO...should disappear fairly soon with out any intervention.
