Having a great day in the fish room.

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!



Over all a great day in the fish room.  It's work tomorrow, but after that .....

sondhii: cool.

Never even seen those guys.
Any tricks to breeding them?

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.

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

+1    Delicate looking beauties. 

The N. mortenthaleri is a striking fish.  Congrats on all of the spawning success.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)
