I mentioned something nice going on down in the fish room...well, here's the first thing... ;D
Newest Koi pair...1st spawn and parent raising....they're now free swimming ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
only about 8-10...but just super ;D
8 or 10, hey they gotta start somewhere. Congratulations on the fry Jon.
Dennis
Thanks Dennis...just the fact that they are parent raising on the very first spawn has me tickled pink.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I'll bet it does. I've always liked to watch cichlid parents and the care the give to a batch of fry. Good luck with them.
Dennis
Yes good luck! Amazing parent raising skills for first time

Those look like mine. Oh yeah, I got mine from you. ;D ;D ;D
The fry started swimming all over the place, the 6 left anyway...now it appears that they're gone. That's alright, the next batch should be larger and in bigger groups they'll do better.

Sorry about the fry but those parents did a great job first time out.

They got it right, Scott. However, I don't think they were getting enough to eat....even when I aimed the food at them, it'd be a couple bites and then finding much more. I could have removed them, but wanted the parents to keep doing their thing.
