Some recent spawns

Hi guys
I've had quite a few spawns recently and I thought I'd share

Zoogoneticus Tequila: My group has started spawning and I had a small female give birth to only one fry. The little guy is growing really fast and loves brine shrimp.

Limia nigrofaciata: I've had this group for a while and like the zoogoneticus, they have recently become sexually mature. I found 3 batches of fry in the 40 gallon comunitity tank. I found about 40 fry and they are growing very well.

Red snakeskin guppies: These guys spawn non stop and all 3 females recently gave birth to around 10 fry a piece within a day or 2 of eachother.

Amatitlania Siquia "tempisque": I found the 3rd batch of F1 sequias this morning in the back of a clay pot. They are wigglers at the moment and they should be free swimming soon!

Enigmatochromis lucunusi: The spawn Im most excited about. These guys have been shy, skiddish, and not really impressive for the last month or so and I was seriously considering selling them. In the past week or so they've started to come out of their shell and yesterday I found eggs! There's no way Im selling them now

Thanks for looking

Thanks, the earliest spawn of the 5 I listed was only about a week ago so I dont have any fry from the particular songs I listed above. Now, I do have about 20 good sized siquias from the first spawn. Once I grow out these fish I will defenitely put some fry from all of them except for the tequilas in the auction. The only reason that I probably wont be auctioning the tequilas is because I have 2 people (1 from mfk and one from you tube) who both want some tequilas and since the last spawn only led to one baby it might take a little while.

I've also been having some gold sunset lyretail mollies and endlers drop fry but with them I have good sized colonies of both so I find new fry a few times a week.

Congrats Dan! You're fish room is apparently quite busy!

thanks!

I have good news, and bad news

Bad news is the lucunusi ate their fry before they where free swimming
Good news is I found the male ancistrus sp. pucallpa gold guarding his 3rd spawn and the newest siquia fry have been free swimming for a while now and are eating very well of decabsulated brine shrimp eggs

Sorry to hear about the lucanusi, mine have also been unsuccessful at getting their spawns to free swimmers. I hope they spawn again soon for you!

Congrats on the others, though!
