Before I left to get the frogbit I was checking out the Leopoldi angels in their 125... they had a small cluster of eggs on the filter intake tube!!! |^| ....FINALLY!!! ...I don't think they'll be successful with this first span, because I moved my hand in near the are of the eggs and they backed off rather than attack me...we'll see what happens though...
I got them as young juries and I've had them about a year...
What a big deal for you, Ron. I wish you all the luck in the world with this pair.
Congratulations Ron. Like Liz said. That's a big deal.
Thanks... I've got my fingers crossed...I've had scalari spawns and raised a bunch...but this is totally new for me with the Leopoldi...
Congrats Ron. |^|
Thanks Greg...
Most eggs gone but few viable ones still hanging in there!...Maybe I should get a con from Barb when she gets bac on here!...
That's what I would do. I think she has a couple left and won't be making more until Spring. I might be mistaken but I think that's what she told me. I know for sure that she still has a couple of gnome cones. They're cool if you have a quirky nature like I have.
Don't despair if this batch doesn't make it. They're still young and stupid. They'll spawn again.
That's what I'll do... al the eggs are gone now...what I expected...
I was wrong....all the eggs weren't wrong....I was noticing that the parents-to-be were still hanging around the intake tube and looked closer and there were still a few eggs almost on the back side...perhaps in the dark of night the cories or SAEs had gotten to most of the eggs, so I left a light on last night and they're still there this morning...
I may have not been giving the pair their just due...
Great news, Ron!
That's great news Ron. mim mim mim
The fry are free-swimming this morning!...there are 12-14 still alive....not a big angel brood by any means, but these have turned out to be decent first time parents.
Most ove the other fish one held to the opposite 1/2 of the tank!! |^|
Hey Ron, congratulations once again. |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|
Thanks, Willie....I don't have any way to raise them right now, though.
Fry gone and the 4 angels are buddies again!
Well at least you know you have a viable pair if you want to do something with then in the future. |^|
Exactly.
