Spawn looks real good so far and are a day or so from free swim... 8)
fry are more around the edges, lots more than the pic shows....but...
them will be some neat angels. Good luck!
Will be an interesting spawn, good luck with em! For some reason Jon, your post reminds me of math class ;D
Barb
Well, they be up and running... ;D....fed some vinegar eels for a first treat....pigs ;D
Don't mind the debris...this was pre clean up and feeding, I was a bit excited ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Eating like pigs, started walter worms and a little bbs....and nothing left to clean...and I'm heavy handed with the chow...LOL.feeding 4 times a day and it vanishes I'll begin all bbs tomorrow ;D ..worms for a treat
Chowing on the bbs real well....all's well so far..... ;D
So far it looks like a good representative spawn. I should be able to see what exactly the parents are carrying?...I know that they have (2) pb's, (1) Zebra, smokey, dark, stripeless....time will tell what else is lurking in them.....if the smokey has a stripeless, then paraiba;s should show up...
Pigs......eating like they've never been fed....LOL love it ;D
Have you had paraibas in any spawns in the past?
Not from this pair....I got a spawn when I first paired them off, but most all didn't make it...they're getting better at it now.....so we'll see....I'm not sure that the pb smokey carries a stripeless, hoping to find out... ;D
It's time to move these little dick'ns to a bigger tank... ;D....
They must be doing good. I have three paraibas from my pb clowns. one of them will need to go see the culling department. most look like blue zebra.

PB Zebras....sweet....look for a dark gene in some...that's the Pinoy....hopefully a few survived. I have some dark ones in this batch, hoping for Pinoy clowns, Pinoy leopards, Pinoy smokeys....we'll see.. ;D
They're moved and didn't skip a beat ;D..eat'n like little pigs, I'm pleased
got to love it when a plan comes together. are they showing signs of color yet?
I can see the 'button' on more each day. I think that I'm seeing a smokey too. They're too small to see any paraiba tho....then I'll know that the pb smokey had a stripeless gene.... ;D....we'll wait and see tho...some dark in there too ;D
I really tried for a vid this morning...nada...a blur...LOL
I think you have something special going on with that spawn Jon. I seen some pretty fry in there.
Thanks Scott...me too...I'm seeing different things daily...markings, color, finage....can't wait for them to grow more ;D
It's like a kid waiting for Christmas morning ;D
It's about time to move these guys to a bigger tank....30 gal is cleaned and ready for em...if I can catch em all....LOL..little snots are quick :D
I'm not sure what's in there now...I think that I'm seeing Plat pariabas...??? LOL...but I do see Pinoy Leopards....nice ;D
The clip is a little fast, but you can try pause or slo-mo ??...a lot more turbulence in this tank, I'll need to tone it down a bit....but they love it...
Nice plants and very nice babies. Looks like my 55...
Jon did you check those plants to make sure that there were no eggs on them?? Those fish look really familiar :o lol :o ;D ;D
Nope..that plants been in there forever....LOL....
:P
It's chow time.....they're about a month old now...bigger than the vid shows....and pigs for sure..
I have to tell ya.....these are some beautiful little fry....wait til Aron and Lori get here to see em....Aron's a master with a camera, while I'm a klutz...perhaps I can get him to shoot some decent pics of them...???....pleeeeeaaaaassssseeee..Aron ??? ;D
The video looks good. It's so neat to see a tank full of little guys swimming around. Looking forward to some photos from Aron. :)
Unfortunately, Aron and Lori won't be able to make the trip :'(....but it looks like I'll need to move them sooner than I'd thought..... ;D perhaps a bigger tank will allow my meager camera skills to shine, just once???.....LOL
that sucks, i was hopeing to meet them at the swap

Yes, it does.....good people , we were looking forward to having them stay with us too....you know they, and the demons, would get along just fine....LOL...they already know Abby and Heidi ;D
It looks like they'll be off to a 55 gal tomorrow?....better grow out in there.
Those are going to be really nice. ;D ;D ;D
Well, got them moved to the 55 gal....they seem to like it in there too....LOL ;D
There looking good Jon.
I swear that they've grown since I moved them ;D ;D....and what's odd...the Pinoy are growing the fastest, even with the dark gene....???...wow
