Hi Everyone!!

It is about 70-80 fries. It is the second day of freeswiming.
The male only firteliced a third of the eggs. Since it´s the first time they spawn in my tank i dont blame the male for being on the lazy side :).

Lauren: I lower the waterlevel and remove everything (filter, air, etc) from the tank. I keep it that way for about 1 days from freeswiming (keep an eye on the fish so they have enough air). Also the sides on the tank are painted with a very light blue colour. If the fries are drawn to dark places in the tank you can place a white pice of paiper on the outside of the tank and add some extra lights.

Hexed: Thanx :). Will post some new pics in a few days.

Beautiful fish and it's great to see breeding success. Are you going to keep the fry or sell them?

OK, so with 95, that means we should each be able to get 2, right? LMAO
