surprise

Came home after work today and found a surprise in my tank! A pair of Rainbow cichlids spawned. I have a group of 6 in a 55g along with a Festivum some various tetra and catfish. Wonder if any fry will make it.

Found these guys in my 90G when I woke up this morning. No idea who the parents could be. Have several types of plecos in the tank.

So about a year ago I was out of tank space and through some Julies in with a colony of red rainbow tropheus. The look great and grew but I never figured they would spawn on the veggie diet the tropheus required. Found out today I was wrong. I found some sizable fry in there. I think it was...

Have you ever looked in your tank and got a "what the hell is that?" surprise -- in a good way? This morning, a little baby s. lucipinnis came out to greet me! :wub::wub: Really, there is nothing cuter except maybe a Golden Retriever puppy. This is the third time I've been surprised by a lone...

Got my membership card in the mail today. I don't even remember giving anyone my address. The body has spoken and the elected have listened! Thanks Ruth! If only it worked that well on the national electorate level! Drew

Occasionally I like to be surprised by what I get when I buy fish and I'll say "give me $X of whatever you decide I'll like." I did this just before the cookout and was pleasantly surprised when Josh chose a fish I otherwise wouldn't have even noticed - Danio choprae. Now, I didn't exactly...

As I was building my haunted house today I was walking in and out I the house. I passed by my tanks and saw that one of my Honduran managuesis bred with my regular managuensis. All the fry was out of the log and free swimming. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

As I was doing my walk around before depart for this morning this is what I found on my 1 55 gal setup. No time to correct but you can the front on the frame has been comprised. Got home a few minutes everything still intact. Thanks Petco for still having their $1 per gallon sale going on. Now...

Came downstairs to feed my fish today and found two of my minnows acting up. Once I started with the food, the smaller of the two kept swimming back and forth under my marineland 900 I used for a CO2 reactor and sure enough, they laid eggs on it! It didn't look like a lot but that doesn't mean I...

So as I am going to feed my fish tonight I got an unexpected surprise. Several months ago I bought 3 parachromis Freddie's. 2 of them ganged up and killed the third. Now I know why. They had babies. I never saw the eggs and now they are hatched and almost ready to begin free swimming. Sent...

Today I went to my LFS to go buy some fish for my 110 I had just set up and when I get home come to find out one of the females I had bought has a mouthful of eggs! I have no idea how far along she is with the spawn so I quarantined her in my 15 with a few of my larger fry. Should I leave her...

I've had six petricola/lucippinis from Dykemyster in my blue orchid 45 gallon for years now. No real action from anyone. The blue orchid girls hold occasionally, but spit eggs to eat. Never seemed to get the concept of holding. Then I was surprised with this today!!!:) Bad pic, but you get...

Jim was kind enough to give me his Wild Hecqui pair during ACA. I put them in a 15 gallon tank with sand bottom and 5 shells each. I put a smallish rock in the middle to give them a sight break since the larger of the pair was a little aggressive towards the other at first. The male stays on one...

So when cleaning my jaguar cichlid tank this morning i was in for a big surprise. I purchased 6 young jags only about two months ago. They are just now about 4 inchs long. While moving decorations I was shocked to see a large cloud of fry. I did not even think they where big enough to be...

Came home from the first meeting after the summer and found that I have F1 P. Typus :)

I have had a pair of white dempseys for a while they coexisted peacefully in a 30 gallon, today i was setting up some air tanks there are free swimming fry!!!

I KNEW IT WAS COMING FROM ALL THE SIGNS THE PAIR WAS GIVING OFF. I WOKE UP TO NO EGGS THIS MORNING AFTER I JUST KNEW ID HAVE SOME BY MORNING. I WAS LIKE :(. SO I WENT BACK UPSTAIRS TO GET READY FOR WORK. IM BOUNCING OUT THE DOOR AND I SEE THE FEMALES TUBE HAS DROPPED LOWER AND AS I MOVE CLOSER I...
