spawn

I have one brood of Ruby Green Hap's that are approximately two month old. I have another brood of Ruby Green Hap's that I stripped from the female last week. I also have a a large brood of Hemichromis Guttatus that are about two months old. I hope this is what I am supposed to do.

I now have the second spawn of super red BN hatched, looks like around 40 wigglers. The first spawn happened in the 75 with several dozen juvie oblongum's. I was only able to save 1 fry from that spawn, but the breeders are now in a different tank. Any chance I'm the first in the US to spawn...

I figured out why my dominate female when really crazy over the last few days. I have one m/f pair sectioned off with a divider a three other females on the larger side of the divider. Some how my largest female from the male-less side had a brood that hatched at the same time as the m/f pair...

HERE ARE THE LATEST ARRIVALS. THEY HATCHED THURSDAY MORNING. THEY STARTED IN THE RIGHT CORNER AND TODAY THEY WERE TOURING THE TANK WITH THE PARENTS. TOO COOL!ILL BE MOVING THEM THIS WEEKEND. PLEASE DISREGARD THE DATE I DIDNT RESET AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERIES ....OOPS :wacko:

Well, My Brichardi pair has chosen a very cool place for their spawning. They have taken up safe haven in a ceramic scull that I have in the tank for decor. These are not the best pictures but it does show how cool the spawn is over top of the skull. Enjoy Here is the male a little...

these little fellas are in love seriously. the remaining spawn are barely a 1/4" and thes lovebirds have layed a new clutch of eggs. :wacko: oh well the more the merrier i guess.;) i saw her cleaning off her rock and i looked closer and was a little shocked. i just didnt think so soon. i did...

my pair of jags finally spawned for the 1st time earlier this morning! :p i am so very very happy. now i must wait till thursday to see some wigglers. :wacko: im very excited because he killed his 1st mate and it has taken a bit for her to get ready. finally she did it though. i have them alone...

I have a small group of Mpimbwe frontosa (Gibberosa) with an alpha male that is maybe 5.5" at best. The others range from 3.5"-5". I had the preconception that frontosa take forever to reach sexual maturity and had to be close to full grown before able to spawn. I recently noticed one...

Had a pair of these spawn last night in the 75, moved the parents and half the spawn over to a separate tank and was going to move the rest of the spawn but the Rainbow cichlids that just lost the last of their spawn "adopted" the remaining fry and are fighting all comers. The link will give you...

Some shots from a recent spawn. I had this pair in a 55 with 5 other Pthychochromis oligacanthus sp. Red Fin Nosey Bey and another Paretroplus maculatus. Once some serious spawning behaviour began I moved the other fish. Alas, I was too slow for the sub-male that was in the tank a nd he...

I have been noticing a pair forming in my group of Parachromis friedrichsthalii and today I have eggs! Well over 100 from what I can see (in a hole on the backside of a large piece of driftwood). I will keep you posted. This would be the daddy!

My P. brieni "pimrose" wilds did the deed :) Only got 5 little babies swimming around.... but I love these guys ! Here is a picture Bobby took a while ago of some f1's I have with my wilds....

Wooo Hoooo ! My group finally spawned ! She's been holding well over a week. So I think the fry will make it !! I think I ended up with 2 males and 5 females ! Not a bad ratio at all ! Infact perfect :) Here is a bad picture of my young male.

Free swimmers. Need a checker. I'll post a pic....maybe.

I've had 3 of these for quite some time... but they were all females. So, when I was up at Julies I picked up a male :) 1 day in the tank and I have a female holding ! She seems like she will hold full term :) The males of this species are just stunning ! Here is a pic of a male I had a...

The kribs I got from Ted Judy have spawned a few times in my 29g tank. I have seen the fry, but no juvies seem to survive. I'm guessing because these critters eat everything in the tank, includng the fry, that the chance of a few survivors is unlikely. The tank is heavily planted and filled...

Had two pairs in a 75 with some other mixed fish. It would appear that one pair finally put it all together just in time to find the male jumped out the back of the tank. Managed to save 8 fry so far. Not sure if I am going to get more. The other pair seems to be hard at work on giving me...

My Neolamp Multifasciatus spawned. Babies just started free swimming tonight so no hurry whatsoever. Providing these guys make it, this will be my fifth spawn. I'm jonesing for a certificate. :P The blue rams seem to spawn over and over again but i haven't been able to keep the...

My blue rams spawned after the last storm. It's the first time they have spawned, and they immediately set about eating the eggs. I managed to catch them in time to save a (very) small number of the eggs, and transfer them to a nursery tank. They hatched to wrigglers this morning. I'll post...

I was workin on my tanks tonight and happened to look under a piece of flowerpot. I found a pair of Crenicichla regani guarding a brood of free-swimming fry. I've been watching the larger pair and hoping they would spawn and I guess I sort of ignored the smaller pair I put in a tank with a...
