spawn

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...

My wild pair of Geo. megasema spawned tonight for the first time. I had them for the last couple of years in a 150g with a large Paretroplus dambabe (red Madagascar guy) and some other SA cichlids. They just didn't have the peace that they needed to spawn. Anyway, I transferred them to...

Rainbow Cichlid Spawn

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...

I came home expecting eggs today after doing my new breeding water and diet schedule, and voila! They had eggs. Around 100, much smaller brood but I am still exited!!! I just hope that they don't eat the little fry again! My schedule went like this: Day one: Lower temp and feed all meals frozen...

New firemouth fry!:) So, i was going to empty a tank and setup a tang species tank.. in it i had a firemouth pair.. and some rams along with a couple characins.. as i was draining the tank, i noticed mama fish was acting strange, and always hiding.. i thought she might be holding, but wasnt...

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 :(.

I just went to feed my 29gal, and my Kribs had disappeared. I looked in the urn, and they were, guarding some eggs!!! I saw a few that were in the open light, and they were white! I cannot believe this has already happened after picking the pair Jesse and Christine, I brought them home on...

I have 6 Xystichromis phytophagus that are only an inch at most. Today I witnessed the first spawn. Here are a few shots. Bear in mind that this is in a 15 gallon grow out tank (along with a bunch of Julies), and it's on the bottom shelf of my stand only a few inches off the floor. It is...

I picked up this pair from Rapps just this week. Today I found them guarding eggs. Should I leave the eggs with the parents until they hatch and then relocate the eggs to a breeder tank? Or should I relocate the eggs now? There are other cichlids and plecos in the tank with this pair.

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...

The wild pair of mirificus festivums that I got from Mike Barber spawned a couple of days ago in my 180g SA community. He brought them back from Peru a couple of years ago, I think. It's an odd couple in that the female is about 4.5" and the male's an inch or so smaller. They eat pellets...

On Friday night I came home to find my Red Devils had laid eggs. This is the first time ever having this happen with any fish. Sorry for the lack of quality pics alls I have is my camera phone Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Pics of Cutteri pair with eggs. Eggs are under the rock.

Hmm, interesting development of the my GBR spawn last night. As it stands, my GBR pair have been spawning pretty consistantly every 10-12 days. After the 2nd day, all the eggs are gone. This has been happening for the last 8 spawns and on their 9th try, it looks they have made some progress...

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.
