spawn

Attached are fry pics of my recent Pseudocrenilabrus Nicholsi spawn - noticed that she was holding on Friday 8-17 but before I could strip her on Monday 8-20 I saw they were all free swimming - immediately took the male out and so far have counted in excess of 30 - a week has passed now for...

got more fry from these tonight ...plan on removing them from parents this time and placing them (shell and all) in breeder net with airstone :D:D:D baby brine shrimp hatchery is bubbling away

Congratulations to Sarah Roberts of CCA for taking Runner up in the 2010 ACA Spawn of the year contest for her spawning of Petrochromis sp. Red "Bulu point". She missed first place by 3 votes. There was a strong showing of votes from the convention but it wasn't enough to beat the online...

Black angels free swimming as of yesterday. Keeping fingers crossed. This is their second attempt.

Got this video about a month ago. It's of my group of Protomelas fenestratus. There are 2 males and 4 females in a 50 long (48"x18"x13" high). I've since gotten three batches of fry and had decent success with low attrition rates. Largest fry are about 3/4" - 1" now. All-in-all, a great...

I got a juvenile group of Protomelas taeniolatus - Fire Blue at the convention in Milwaukee last year. I've been growing them out in a 40B for the last several months with some Placidochromis electra and they really started to color up over the winter. The group is 1 male, 1 sub-male and 4...

w00t! :cool: I picked up a large group of gold headed A. compressiceps last fall from Julie (Thanks again!). I've had them in the 75 community - 8 total and they appear to be balanced 4/4 M/F. They share the tank with Cyp leptosoma Utinta and Paracyp nigripinis. The largest of the males are...

After growing these guys up from 1.5" over the last year+, I finally got these guys to start doing their thing. Had a couple of holding females in the past, but never held for more than a couple of days. Pulled one female yesterday, stripped 20 fry from one and currently have another holding...

My ACA C.A.R.E.S. Pyxichromis Orthostoma spawned :D. I notice the male flashing unbelievable colors and chasing females in to caves for the past week or two. The other day I went to feed them and one female was going after the food but she would not open her mouth... The first thing I thought...

I have three Nimbochromis venustus in my 180 gallon tank - two males and one female. I've raised the large male from about 1.5" for about 6 years. He sports a lot of color all the time, but despite his age, is only about 8" long. I believe that this is because he was a bit stunted early on...

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...

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...

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...

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...
