November fry log
Just a place to keep up with the progress on my fry
Male:HM royal blue Female:HM royal blue Sibling pair About nine months old Spawned in a ten gallon,no damage to female,male was exceptionally gentle. Goal:I hope to get full sized fry,and possibly a good quality for showing.The parents and siblings of the parents are runts,as in about an inch in body length.They were moved from one house to another and without good quality water during the crucial growth period.As of now,the fry are normal sized,so i hope they will outgrow the parents. Today they are freeswimming,and the father continues to give exceptional care.There is a chance ill leave them with the fry for the first month to cull the weaker ones,ensuring ill get the best of the fry to adulthood. Pics to follow later,or look in my gallery.

Re: November fry log
Today is the day most pull the males and raise the fry without him.In this case i am letting dad do his job.I have witnessed twice in the past hour,him calling the fry and keeping them close to the nest.He will be well fed,three times daily to cut chances of him eating the fry,but i do want him culling the weaker ones.Fry are eating on Vinegar eels and Insuforia in the plants.Next week i will try some golden pearls if they are big enough.
Pics will follow.

Re: November fry log
Quick update.Fry and dad are doing good.Hes still keeping many close to the nest and is maintaining it for them.He is eating well,and still calls them a good bit.Tomorrow will be first water change.Ill pull out a gallon and drip fresh in slowly over the course of the day.Ill do this every three days and see how the growth is.
