Peppermint fry


Alasse

Recommended Posts

I bought a male pep around 2 yrs ago, he's approx 15cm. I bought some 2.5cm peps around 2 yrs ago. Turns out it seems the peps that grew are females (lucky draw)

They've had their 1st spawn, and i now have fry everywhere in the tank, and OMG i'm sooo excited *L*

I moved them to a 2.5ft tank. (25th Feb 2011)

Runs a sponge filter and a corner filter + an airstone & a heater.

Tank sits at 26C

Fed with algae disks & the odd bit of zucchini

Got its 1st water change yesterday

Tank has 5 guppies as clean up crew (excess food)

I notice today the male has a female companion in his cave again, so am expecting new fry soon.

I bought six 2 years ago and they were all female. A fella got me a nice big male and I gave him some of my girls . The male was sitting on eggs less than 24hrs later , it was amazing. Since then I have had 4 more batches of eggs.

I find nice big water changes seems to inspire some egg laying action.

regards Pat.

Great work on your success!!!

Cute little buggers aren't they?

I have a perfect adult female and searching for an immaculate adult male for her.

Nice work...

I have always wanted to try these but never get around to dedicating a tank to them. Bloody Tangs always take the spotlight! :unsure

Congrats on the spawn, hopefully many more to come.
