Took them a while with more wigglers in each attempts. Finally got a decent amount of frys in this spawn.

Wish me luck :bounce:

Those Penang Eruptions are beautiful. You're going to get some nice quality fry from them. Great job with them, can't wait to see some future pictures.

Here is a video. Not great with the reflection but the room is not lighted well and I wanted to show their natural color.

Very nice, best of luck with them. Shooting videos or taking pictures at a bit of an angle helps a lot with reflection problems.

Thanks Patrick,CozyKeith,Vera, Eddie.

I am looking forward to seeing what they will look like too! These Penang aren't the biggest fish but they have pretty nice shape and the color is just amazing.

Frys are doing well, eating bbs.

Working on a 2nd pair. Not sure if they are both female. Eggs spread all over the glass instead of the breeding cone. That's what happened with this pair in the beginning (spawning on glass the first few times).

Thanks all!

Just about 7 weeks now. Pulled some out of the main growout tank into the for sale tank. They are starting to shape up a bit. The 9 bars are growing faster but overall, they don't grow as fast as the PB.

Quick sample video

Thanks Vera:

Thanks Rod.. very frustrating. I have 2 confirmed pair and working on a 3rd pair. Since this spawn, I threw away 4 small batches between the 2 pairs and it's getting old. I told Marc the other day that I am going to make an attempt to coordinate multiple pairs to spawn at the same time (yeah.. like I really have control on that). I am wondering if I should sit back and enjoy their beauty instead of working them so hard.

Kraig, I have them on a separate post here http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?85506-Millennium-Gold

They are indeed very eye catching. Very bright MG..let's see how long they can stay that way.

Gary,

Thanks for the interests. I have no plan to ship these as I am sure it will get sold out pretty quickly locally.

Never did. It's one of my most frustrating pair. I gave up on them and gave them a break.. maybe try again in a few months.
