Have fun! I'm procrastinating going back to work. It has gone from about 80 yesterday to high 40's today. Makes me not want to do anything.

Been busy around here... changed 245 gallons of water, placed an order with Ken's Fish.  Time for a sausage, egg & toast break, then back to water changes.

Thanks Jon.  I removed the other Red Point's to give them a better chance at raising some fry this time.  They still need to contend with about 40 Purple Passion Danios though.

I've never really worried about plant cover as the parents heard them around pretty good.  Here's a video of the same pair earlier this year.  At about 1:05 into the video, watch the male gather up a straggler and spit it back into the group.  lol

Thanks ilroost.  I've always liked Convicts and after hearing Rusty Wessel talk about the Red Points I knew I had to get some!
