spawn

I thought that I posted these pictures of them when I stripped the female but I must not have. The parents are F1 and came from Cichlids Are Special. I purchased them at Aquamania last spring and they spawned in late July. The fry will be in tomorrow's auction! Sorry for the horrible phone...

Came home from work yesterday to find my Dicrossus maculatus laying it down on a leaf. About 1-2 days post 20% water change and blackworm feeding. I really need to start keeping better track of this stuff. The bad news is I'm battling some sort of algae that came in on plants in that tank...

I posted about this under a different forum heading, but I suppose I should also post about it here-- Came home from work today, looked into my 55-gallon tank, and lo and behold, there were a bunch of fry buzzing around my rainbow cichlids! This is my first spawn ever, so I could use some...

I had put an extra pair of these Convicts into a temporary tank since they were getting beaten up by another pair of Coatepeques in my 45. While in their temporary tank, they spawned. I've been having fun watching them take care of their fry, which always seem to have full little bellies...

I got the parents a few months ago from one of our auctions, and I'm really digging these fish! Males are a lovely striped blue, with females taking on a yellowish tint. This is the first batch I've noticed....the adults aren't yet full size so it was a small batch, with only eight fry!

I got this pair from Tparker. They spawn a lot for me but this is the first time I filled out the BAP form and tried to follow through with the whole deal. First pic is Dad. Next is remaining fry in my 220. Last is pulled fry in a breeder box. Just have to raise them up bring them to the...

OK, my first BAP report... This is not an innovative or remarkable spawn as these fish are EASY to breed. In fact, I've seen the club auction price drop to almost nothing because everyone has them. If you haven't bred these yet or are interested in how it works, here's a brief thumbnail on my...

I picked up 3 of these Ancistrus as juvies at the 2012 ACA meeting. Ended up with 2M and 1F. They have phenomenal finnage! Their first spawn is finally on its own in the parents tank and I checked in the spawning cave of the dominant male yesterday and they spawned again! He's already...

First spawn of Rusties. Out of eight fish, I ended up with seven that made it to adulthood.....and I'm pretty certain that six ended up being males and only one appears to be female! The six boys are so busy circling each other and strutting their stuff that the girl gets left on her own most...

They're also sometimes also called L144s. I got three of these at the 2012 ACA meeting and they've spawned a few times, but dad ate the eggs. This time it seems he's being much more parental (I ended up with 2M and 1F so maybe it's the other male this time).

A pair that I got from Sam has finally successfully spawned. I had one pair in a community tank and although I see them spawn regularly....no fry. I put another pair in a heavily planted 29 with some blue tail goodeids and a few other much smaller fish and they spawned within a day or two...

Stripped my Protomelas taeniolatus (Red) -Super Red Empress. Got a bout a 12 fry in my new Breeder box :D

I've been offering them a "calvus cave" and some other Calvus-friendly shells....mainly so that the female can hide from the male. There's an enormous size difference in this pair and he killed the original female that I bought him with. The other day, just for the heck of it, I threw in a...

My convicts (originally from Jon) have been spawning in their community tank...so far I've completely failed at trying to siphon the babies out when they become free swimming. So I put some clay pots in there and this time they were courteous enough to spawn inside one. I pulled the pot out...

I picked up this pair from JMTY about a month ago and got my first fry yesterday. Here are some pictures and sorry for the poor quality, all I had was my iPhone :(.

Yesterday I spotted my heroina isonycterina chewing on a baby L129 pleco. I was unable to save it, but I did manage to temporarily save five other babies that were in the cave with their mother. I say temporarily, because over night, they escaped back into the tank from the breeder box (I used...

Here is a video, got eggs again, this being the third time, hopefully they get it right this time LOL http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo302/rsretep/?action=view&current=P1020587.mp4

Firemouth Cichlids just took over the tank lol they spawn in the flower pot on the right side of the tank. There babies should be really nice, the male has nice red colors and the female has nice grey colors. I had 3 spawns in 3 days wow, 2 pairs of angelfish and firemouths this is eggciting lol.

Hello All: I have two albino plecos I got from Tony in April. They are in a 29g with 6 lemon jake juveniles. Lately, I have seen them hanging out in the foot of a robot ornament my 3 year-old picked out. This evening I looked at the tank and the pleco is lying on top of 50+ eggs. I am...

Attached are first pics of the 12 ABN fry which I separated from the cave and the male on Friday - August 31 2012. Have no light on this little tank and the first pic is terrible but you can see some on the tank bottom (and their reflection) and the second shows a decent focus of one fry on the...
