I don't know what you're talking about, that's a great pic! Karen's fish are da bomb at breeding!

Wow I can't wait for them to get some fry of my own.

WOW!!! So many tails! I'm very happy for you.

[bettalover2033]

As am I!

Do you have a video camera that can catch them?

[vaygirl]

Oh wow! That's a lot of little ones. Best of luck with them. :D

Those pictures are amazing! That pair is gorgeous! Hopefully you'll get some really neat babies out of them :)

Thanks everyone!
I had to remove some bad eggs this morning because fungus was growing on them. I had never dealt with fungus in a spawn tank but I think I did the right thing by removing the eggs. I was afraid it would hurt the fry because there were a few hanging from the bad eggs.
The dad and the kids seem to be doing ok.
They are, what? 1.5 days old? Their egg sacks are almost gone and I can't wait until they are free-swimming.
They are a quiet bunch and don't give daddy a lot of grief.
Uploaded a video for your entertainment but you really have to look to see the fry.

Bummer to hear that. Glad the rest are doing ok, though. :)

That video is amazing! The fry all look great! I may have to come up and grab some when they get bigger! :)

I had issue with fungus on the eggs once and someone told me (or I read it somewhere) to put like 1 drop per gallon of Maryoxy (sp?) in the tank to prevent fungus. I haven't had a problem since I started using it.
