Fry are free swimming today. I counted at least 40 so there's probably more than that.

Here's a couple pictures. They aren't very good though.

OOOOHHHHH!!! Those fry are going to be gorgeous! I love the parents. Such deep color. By the way, I think your pictures are very good.

Oh wow! I knew the name sounded familiar! I remember my parents talking about Stephen. (One of the most amazing people by the way.) Created true art!

I especially like the first picture because his mouth is extending a bit and it looks cute. I've seen it plenty of times, just not (captured) at that angle.

Aww! I'm so happy for you! Cute little wigglers :D
If they are free swimming your count is probably off... hope so!
Best of luck... will be following this for SURE!

The ones I counted were just the ones stuck to the leaves/front of the glass.. so now I'm reasonably certain that there's even more than 40.. which is awesome.

@BL2033.. in that first pic he's spitting fry back into the nest. He's been doing that all day LOL.. poor guy. If you look closely you can see a fry to the right side of his eye.

Oh wow. I've never really liked the body shape on DTs. But that is such a CUTE little girl! She may have just made me change my mind about them...and I bet those babies will grow up to be gorgeous!

Sondheim : STAY ... IN ... THE ... NEST YOU LITTLE BUGGERS!!! lol

I can't wait to see them grow up!!!! Makes me all the more excited to try Beans in a couple of days
