Thanks for clarifying Terry, for a minute there it sounded like you thought there might be something wrong with them.

Anyhow thanks for the brine shrimp and great to catch up with you and Rhonda last night, sorry we didnt have a chance to say goodby properly, I got struck with panic and raced for the car when I realised I only had 10 minutes to get Ronny to the airport for his flight.

Anyhow if you are ever down my way in South bronx make sure you pop over and check out my fish room, just bring some holy water and a crucifix cause you might not like some of the evil fish I keep.

Cheers
Den

Hey Den, Cool vids mate.

Do you still have these guys how are the fry going.

Back ground is a 12foot customized universal rock background called the crevice, looks like the 12 foot size isnt available any more.

Harvested their 3rd fertile spawn christmas eve, like Terry said they get better at it every time, this time there was complete co-operation during the spawn and caring of the fry and it was the most fertile spawn yet, I left a few hundred in the tank to watch the parent behaviour and see how the fry would do, most of the fry unfortunately starved to death within several days.


This is the female with fry, both male and female cared for the eggs, but the male seemed in charge, once the eggs hatched and the fry became free swimming the female kept trying to drive away the male and she was guarding the free swimmers.
