He is doing really good knowing that this was his only second try.
I think making them pair up, instead of forcing the pair, did help a lot. Seems like the pair really have a good bond. They don't get aggressive towards one another at all, unlike others that sometimes gets too rough with its partner.

Transferred the fry yesterday. I just transferred them to a 29 gal tank. So far doing good.

The new batch went freeswimming late last night. Started feeding this morning. So far good orange bellies.

Love those little Orange bellies. That always makes my day.

Looking really sweet Joel.....nice job 

[waterboy]

Nice.  Do I see black ones in there? If parents are both bg/bg how can you have black ones? Maybe my old eyes are failing.

[Babers]

No black ones. Just shadows. Some are slightly darker though....probably the D/D's

Just an update on the fry. 15 days old freeswimming. I can see different shades of fry.

Joel, I always put the slate in the jar so that the eggs face down, you have them facing up.  I thought it helped to keep things from settling on them. Maybe I am wrong and it doesn't make any difference as long as there is good circulation.
Looks like two nice batches.

[Babers]

I used to do it facedown but it kept blowing the babies off the slate then they end up at the bottom of the container and sometimes they die. My experience anyways. But I've see people do it differently. Sometimes the air blowing directly on the eggs...I do mine on the side of the slate.
The keyword is good circulation of water like you said. As long as it's circulating and keeping things from settling on the slate/eggs,it's okay. This is what works for me.
