Bedge Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm so excited, last night I found our very first little fry hiding out in the sand. Wahooooo! I wasn't even aware anyone was holding! I usually do a head count each night at dinner and I thought everyone was eating! They had me fooled. I was also thinking they are all still to young to produce any decent off spring. We set the tank up at the beginning of the year, with all new and baby stock. Anyhoo, our first sighting of a little guy is really exciting for me (I actually saw two last night). I hope there are more some where, I hope one makes it. I also saw a very silver little one (maybe empress???) being carried around in the mouth of one of the electric yellows. He was a bit to big to fit in his mouth, so not sure about his fate. Bugger. Here he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 G'day Bede, Well done! Im sure there would be plenty of fry creeping around in the rockwork if the layout is still the same as when I visited last. Maybe you could squirt some BBS or Spectrum Grow or similar into the crevaces to ensure they get a feed. As for the silver fry in the yellows mouth... I dont like his chances - Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz_gooner Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 We had the same thing happen over the weekend. Went to Noosa for 3 days, come home and found 1 lonely fry hidding under a rock. Have had a few suprise additions to our 3' tank over the last few months. All Maganio's. Only one we knew was holding was a Saulosi and thats only because we saw them getting frisky.

Bedge Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks Guys! Joel, the layout is still the same. Its driving me insane not being able to see under and in the rocks! Im so happy, the tank is running perfectly. All the levels are great, and seeing some fry makes me feel really proud. I wish I knew which breed the babies came from!

ant265 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Nice on Bedge, hasnt taken long at all, must be happy (fish and owner). Looks like a Red Empress fry to me. How big are the parents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedge Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I dunno! The largest that are in the tank are the Cobalts and they are about 8 - 10 cm? Have noooooooooooo idea who the parents are. Sadly, I did a big tank clean out / water change, and I didn't find any little fellas. So I think they all became a late night snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
