Always move forward. Never look back.

Thank you. The pair I got from you Liz have 15 fry that are a few weeks old and growing nicely. I guess I will keep them for future breeders.

The pair I sold you did way better here, but I guess 15 is better than nothing.  At what size will you turn loose of some of the spawn you pictured?

I have a batch from their first spawn around dime size and it looks like they are starting to turn but not sure. The have the stripe on the back of the body but the black has not filled in yet. I moved them all into a 100 gallon tank from a 55 and hope to see them change soon. I will get a photo of them this weekend I have to go to work in the morning. If they don't fill in I may tank a few to the pet store.

I got some have half black blushers that I purchased as non-expressing but they changed for me as they got bigger so I call them my late bloomers. Maybe these will change as the get older also.

Anyone expecting some Xmas spawns??....

Totally unexpected, those crazy green Cories spawned again.  I moved them from the first tank to let the eggs hatch and after a quick water change, they spawned in their new tank.  Scraped the eggs into a deli container and they are floating in the first spawning tank.
