Ash Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I've been crook the last few days so the wife has been feeding the fish under the house for me. I went down for a look just now & saw a cloud of tiny free swimmers around the female with the male patrolling the area & attacking the glass when I got near. They had spawned previously though the eggs disappeared, this is the first successful RD spawn I've had, yippee! I even have a spare 4' tank to grow the fry in, if they last that long. I wish my digicam worked so I could post a photo of the proud parents, will post a pic if I can get a hold of a cam. Cheers Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanaone Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 congrats, it is definately an amazing feeling seeing big fish like rd's with swimming with hundreds of (safe) fry. IMO they are definately good parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
