Spawn Date: 3-25-13 between 12am-5am. Hatch Date: 3-26-13 at about 12pm. Will provide pictures below. Female (mother) picture will be delayed due to being damaged in spawning process. She is currently in a heated half gallon with AQ salt with daily water changes and being fed frozen bloodworms and glassworms. Male is currently tending to his nest an fry which are darting up and down. Very small spawn- probably around 30. I'm very proud of this pair due to them spawning so quickly and behaving so well. They were both virgins. Will update again when fry begin to free swim and father is removed. At that time they will be fed their first helping of banana or walter worms.
Just did a ten gallon water change. I'm attempting to raise this spawn quick so I can get them new homes and all before I attempt to move. I also am eager to see if I have any good Cambodian HM out of the spawn. Because that is a line I want to keep up with in the future.
Thanks dragon. Today they had micro worms and vinegar eels. My BBS did not have a good hatch rate this go around. Luckily I have them on all sorts of things!
@ madmay- I'm sure they will look awesome @belleangel- I'm glad I see ventrals too... Now I want them to color up!!! @ mashiro- thank you, I'm excited for coloring too
I'm so excited to post some update On my little bunch! Today they are 3 weeks and 5 days old. I observed them breathing through their labyrinth organ multiple times today. I have some updated pictures.
Will be starting grindal worms soon. Also going to try and wean them to some frozen blood worms after 4 weeks... 3week, 5 day old fry.
