Thanks guys! I'm also hoping the female holds full-term..

Should I strip the female of her young/fry in 2 weeks or leave her to be?


Cheers!

Congrats Kev,
Your dominant male looks awsome when you posted a pic of him,

[golden_dase]

Thanks guys.

Anthony, the dominant male has increased his colours since that pix was taken.. very good looking guy! There is now a bluish sheen around his body, and some other males are beginning to show the same colours etc! hehe!


Cheers!

The holding female is no longer holding... It's her first time and I think she spat out the eggs somewhere...

Oh well... hopefully her future attempts will yield better results..
Brenton, now I know how you feel losing those fry..


Cheers!

Hey Kev, Any signs of any more spawns?

I have a female holding at the moment, she spawned yesterday. I also had one spawn about 2 weeks ago. I stripped her on Saturday and have 20 healthy looking fry in a saver.

Here's a clip of my colony, and what they gave me.



Cheers,
