Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the suggestions, I've added some bunched up straws and a fake plant to the tank - it's looking a bit of a mess now, but I'd love to see some little ones swimming around, even if it's just for a short while. Most will probably get eaten, I know, but it's worth a try. Now I'm just waiting ...

Thanks for the input, added some pics to the first post now. Just one fry in there, do you think?

I've chucked some straws in for now, will grab some more rocks tomorrow. Do you reckon she'll spit soon?

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely give that a go. Will keep you all posted on how it goes.

Thanks creeko, I actually put my glasses on and she swam over, I'm pretty sure I saw a tiny fry in her mouth now. I'm guessing the fry won't last this time though.

I've got a smaller tank that I was planning to use as a fry tank, but I've still got a harlequin in there at the moment. I'm trying to ...

I'm pretty sure she's spat all the fry now, there are at least three that I've spotted and she's eating normally again. She doesn't have that puffed up look about her that she had before, so I think she's done.

The tank does have a sand substrate, but I've seen a couple of the fry venturing out to ...

I finally made the move with my yellow lab last Wednesday and she's just spawned today.

I've only spotted two eggs so far - one in a rock hole and the other in a fake plant. She wolfed down the tiny bit of food I put in for her.

I'm keen to start the fry on Hikari first bites, but I'm not sure ...
