this thread is for diary only, not for sale.
everybody please refrain from posting dips, thankx

The daddy has been holding eggs for about 3 weeks. 2 nights ago, we saw little eyes poke out

the first pic is the daddy
the second is the mom when she laid the eggs, but the daddy is too young to hold them all, so the red dot is the left over eggs

7/5 - got the babies out today.
just fed some rotifers and they're chomping 'em down!
there are 28, but 1 of them is missing 1 fin and can't swim.. that one's not going to make it.

if you watch the video carefully, you can see at about 0:07~0:08, the baby will open it's mouth to eat. very cool!

You must have been VERY quick and good with the net to get those guys out! Were you right there when papa spat them out or did you net papa?
