first time breeding experience!

07candyr6 · 10-16-2009, 01:19 AM

so I had some honduran red points that I bought from a guy on craigslist in a tank and I went to feed one morning and noticed one of the was white with black stripes. so I take a closer look and its a male fending off the other fish from some small ones! I was so excited!! I took a pic but you cant really see them cause a camera on a phone can only do so much. but I circled them theres a couple more that wernt in the pic.

honduran red points aren't african fish, but congrats! I've bred angelfish, an by feeding the adults, the adults would actually grind up the food for the babies...

Congrats, it's always exciting to get babies.

yes it was exciting! I dont have any experience with this should I try to seperate the kids from the pair? or just leave them? thanks

I would leave them and let the parents raise them, unless you have other fish that might eat them.

no I took all the other fish out from the tank. I left the parents and the small ones somewhere between 7-12 in a 10gal.
