Look for the black dots of their eyes! Babies!

Give us another update! I'm curious to see how the fry will look.

Me, too.

So exciting!!! Your female of the first pair is absolutely beautiful!!! ^^

[Myates]

lol thanks!

I will take some pictures tomorrow.. they are a little bit bigger and eating like pigs! Feeding them a mix of BBS, vinegar eels, micro worms, walter worms and banana worms. Was able to watch one chase after one of the worms trying to eat it.. was so cute.

So far I know that I have lost 3 for a fact, haven't ran across any others just yet. Still looking at a couple - few hundred. Have a drip system going for the last 1.5 days, just about a gallon is in there now.. so slowly working. Been cleaning with a turkey baster, anything else at this point would get them.

All is good!

Can't wait to see how everything turns out~ ^_^

Very nice Myates! You have a neat system there and all that live food is just ideal. A hungry fry is a healthy fry and its amazing how handy a turkey baster can be. Good luck and enjoy the hundreds of hours looking after the lil monsters in the next few months.

lol thanks guys :)

I need to clean their tank so badly.. put a snail in there for now to help with the dead food.. but had to wait until I got some more water added and until I can safely see the fry. They are currently going on 5 days old now.. so still a ways before I feel secure in doing bigger water changes heh.

I was just going to ask you how old they were. lol Almost a week old.
