I am running low on albinos so I did a quick look into some caves and found one that I saw a yellow fry wiggling in. I set up a 5g real quick with the tank water and moved the cave into it. Before I was even able to set up the air and heat I took a peek into the tank a 3 albinos were already out and swimming around.
Don't know how many are in there but since these fry were a little bigger than freshly hatched fry I suspect some may have gotten loose into the 75g where the cave came from. If so then I am sure they became a snack for the retired Angels that are housed in that tank.

The male finally emerged from his cave, releasing about 25 snots. There were probably more before I pulled the cave.
It wasn't easy getting him out of that tank though. I put a slice of zucchini in there last night and woke up to a cloudy mess which made it difficult (even in a 5 g tank) to catch him without injuring or killing fry.
The move back to the 75g was successful and he has a nice clean cave to set up shop again. There are 3 females in that tank along with another male. This male always has eggs though so he is my go to guy.
Needless to say he is a grandson of the Stud Muffin and Cougar from Jon's line. |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|
