Ashley's First Spawn: White HM x White HM

[inareverie85]

My first spawn failed, as the eggs ended up infertile (common for first-timers), but this one has worked out so far. :)

I put my pair in a 10G filled to about 4 inches. I floated some bubblewrap to encourage him to build his nest and gave him an entire night to begin his work. The next morning, I released her, and I had eggs within 12 hours. :)

Mom has some damage and is recovering.

Now, about two days later the eggs have hatched, and I seem to have somewhere between 30-50 fry falling out of the nest and driving Dad crazy!

These are the parents:



And...



Hoping to have lots of beautiful babies...

Nice, I have a white pair I plan on breeding at some point when I have time. Good luck with your spawn.

Wonderful white HM

[inareverie85]

Thank you, everyone. :) I am going to be removing Dad today, and once most are free-swimming, they'll have their first meal. :)

Wow! Beautiful! Do you have your own website?

[inareverie85]

No, I do not own a website. :) I am relatively new to breeding. Once I have a good strong white line established, I might make a website to sell my fish. :)


UPDATE: First Photo, four days old!
