I purchased 7 red melons from Cary in December 03. They were about 3 inches then. I now have 3 pairs from those 7. I guess I lucked out with 3 pairs from 7 fish ;D. All 3 pairs have produced wigglers. As of this morning Pair #2 is carrying about 45 fry.

Here they are in December

I was surprised how well the fry attached to the parents. I thought I may have had a problem since they are pigeon blood.

I thought I read somewhere that melons don't breed true. Anybody know what types of babies I'll get?


Thanks,
Tony :D

is it just me or is that one in the 2nd pic in the back HYUGE :o

Very pretty, I crossed red melons off my top 5 list of what to buy, now I'm reconsidering
