I set-up some breeders over the weekend, and today I have:
Devario sondhiii fry. Thought I was going to loose these guys as I'm down to just two females and three males.

Danio kerri fry. These guys aren't really a big deal as they practically spawn 'on-demand'. LOL

Danio roseus eggs, probably something just under 100.

I went to finally set-up the Nannostomus mortenthaleri I picked up at the CAFE Convention last spring and found rather large fry (1/4") in the tank with the adults.

The Ancistrus sp ?Pucallpa Gold? are back at it in a larger set-up too!

LOL Actually, I went out and bought some shelving so I could put up some of those 21 tanks I scored last fall. The stuff I picked up is rated at 900 pounds per shelf or 4000 pounds total. The shelves are adjustable about every 2 inches. 48" wide by 24" deep. Very easy to set-up / take down. So far, so good!

First time I got them to spawn, no problems. This time they were being rather reluctant so as soon as the Danio kerri finished up, I dropped in the sondhii. With all the hormones, pheromones, milt, etc in the water, they just couldn't resist.
Dennis
Thanks Willie! I've been kinda moping around here, I needed a bit of success to get me fired up! Also, I went halves on a table for the GCAS swap Saturday January 31, 2015..... better have something to sell. LOL
