Me Four: I Have Babies Too

[Justice]

These Fry are now 6 weeks old, the Father is a Brilliant Blue and the Mother is a Blue Diamond, they were a small spawn of 31 i lost 5 have 26 left and I am assuming they will look like the Father. :confused:

[William Palumbo]

Looking good! The parents are nice. From the pic looks like the fry are all Brilliants. The nice thing with a BD cross, is you can tell almost immediately what's is a BD. All the best with them...Bill

[LizStreithorst]

Very nice parents. Best of luck growing the babies.

[Justice]

Thanks for the encouragement Bill and Liz !

Well i sold 8 of my babies today to a buddy for a group for him to grow out (BTW it is nice to be on the selling end for a change), so now my little spawn is down to just 18 babies which my LFS has agreed to buy from me for 10 dollars an inch as soon as they reach around 3 inches so now i guess the parents have decided it is time for batch #2.

[Eddie]

Gotta love that

[DiscusKev]

Nice BB, yea. BD don't have stress bars so it's easy to tell.

[Chad Hughes]

Congrats on the spawning spree! ;)

[Justice]

Thanks guys!

I just caught papa eating an egg or two so had to put the cone on lockdown.

[DerekFF]

you sure he didnt eat a bad egg or two? they do peck and clean off dead eggs and debris/fungus and stuff naturaly

[Justice]

yes i watched him he was munching good eggs also last spawn he ate them all, he is a repeat offender!

[vera]

[Jennie]

Congrats CTD!!!

[Justice]

Thanks for the kind words Vera and Jennie, it sure makes the hobby way more fun and alot more satisfiying to have a lil bit of luck with my fish.

[Jennie]

not just luck!

Thats a good deal. Most stores have only offered me store credit and a lot less than 10$ an inch. Maybe $10 a fish in store credit.

Maybe $10 a fish in store credit.I agree that is a nice price but believe me the store more than doubles their money because around here they pay you less than half to sometimes half of what they sale fish for.

Store credit would be ok if i could use it but i buy 99% of everything online i bet LFS hate online stores as you can often order items online and even after paying shipping still save money over the stores markups.

Good luck with the lil guys! Congrats!
