i got 12 fry i have put 8 in to a fry tank qand left the others its hard to tell how many ive got cause they are hard to see against the black gravel and hide very well

Congradulations well done! Although I havent done any specific research I've never heard of them being bred in any fish mags or books and I read almost all of them,. You should try and keep records of the water conditions to see if you can repeat the success.

Cheers

i have and i will it looks like the fry i have are from two difrent batches some are alot larger then the others and are much more darker. ive done alot of reading and as far as i can tell there is only one person or record that has bred them in australia and he will not mention how or why, he will not give out any info at all so i might be the second ???

[skittles]

Thats amazing news benkie hope all goes well
ps could you post up another pic if you feel like it, the pic doesnt show on my acount for sum reason :evil:

As i said in my PM - I have never heard of aquarium bred BGK's. Very, very impressive. As Den said, and as you are doing, document everything and send in an article to a fish magazine. Am sure they would be very interested.
