Great job! I hope to see some developments in the fry! (meaning more pics with the same stunning quality you're using.)

very nice, how old are the fry in the pic?
Hi Mark122
Those are some fine looking fry!
It's good to see that you have them in a big tank so they have lots of room to grow. Will you be putting some sand in there soon?
Your adult fish are especially handsome too.

The fry were born on the 6th of this month so makes them nearly a month old, i also have fry just over a week old in there too all doing fine.
There is 18 of the older batch and about 25 of the younger.
I am just about to head out and buy sand now, hours of washing ahead
The adults were one my first first tropical fish, i got 4 to start with and 1 died 2 days after I brought them home. That left me with 3. I was in the LFS 2 months later and they had 1 left in a tank on his own. I HAD to buy him
I think i will keep 5 myself and my girlfriend wants 5 for her tank.
Cheers for the comments guys.

Hi Mark122
I'll bet those little guys can't figure out what happened.
I always feel a little sad and a little proud when I put sand in a fry tank. It means my little guys aren't little babies any more.
It might be a good idea for you remove some of the sand though. As a rule it's best to keep it between a half inch to an inch deep. Any more than that and you run the risk of having problems with anaerobic bacteria causing gas pockets to form in it.

I didn't level the sand out right, Its now just about an inch and a bit. I like it deeper for the plants. It will get stired up abit each week anyways when i do a vac and stuff.
I'm heading away on work for the next 4-5 days so time to write out a detailed list of things for my sister to do regarding the tanks, Great!

lol, going away for 4-5days, I wont stay at my GF's house for one night when I have fry, as I want to look after them, as my parents, even though they used to keep fish, managed to kill two of my upside down cats when I went away on holiday year before last.
so doubt they could feed and clean my fry with killing them all, well I'n not much better with fry but meh!
