Just wanted to say I'm loving this thread, the babies are looking great. I can't wait to see all of the different colorations you end up with. If only I had a bigger tank, I would love a pair. One day...

Anyway, keep posting pics. Great job. :bow:

Thank you

BTW... spawn #5 was laid today! :bugout:
On the 12th day after #4.

They sped up a day this time.... They have been laying every 13 days...

 

[jbob]

those pics are amazing! keep up the great work!

 

[SeahorseBT]

Congratz on the new batch! Are you going to raise this batch too? You have a good amount of picassos there.

 

[Woodstock]

Thanks Jbob

SeahorseBT - I don't know if I will raise #5 or not....:smack:
IF #3 grows enough to safely move into a larger tank, I will then have an empty nursery and will raise them.
#5 will hatch in 7 days so we'll see how much #3 grows over the next week.

 

[SeahorseBT]

Good luck!

The older kids look like they broke into your white out. I'm tellin! lol

I can't believe they spawn so often. It's amazing.
The mortality in the wild is astronomical.

OMG that is amazing Doni. You're gonna need your own LFS system setup if you keep this up. PM Jack and see what he's got

[plecosword]

holy crap did anyone see that? It happens a lot when I post! just curious, aren't the parents suppose to raise their kids in the wild? or do they eat them? then maybe you could see if they raise this batch for ya lol

Just imagine the mortality of pelagic spawners that release their fry into the unknown reaches of the ocean Puts into perspective how difficult it will be for those type of fish to be aquacultured completely captively in the future.

You know that reminds me of something I haven't quite figured out with marine fish. Why isn't live birth more common as a survival technique?
