Looking good, that female certainly has a right mouthfull there, not long now

Really nice mix youve got. Lots of action.

Have just noticed a load of fry in the tank not 100% sure what they are they are hanging around the shell dwellers but could be cyps I would say they are smaller than a grain of rice.

Do I need to be feeding the tank with baby Brineshrimp?

Doubtful that it`s the cyps as they stay around the mother apparently while very small.

Sounds like it`s the temporalis that have spawned. Either tiny brineshrimp eggs, very, very finely crushed flake or some liquifry can be fed to the fry

Congratulations on the fry, how many are there ? This is going to sound really daft but cyp fry just look like tiny cyps, bright eyes etc, are your fry wee brown things ?
Got any pics. of them to post ? Be nice to see them , hint hint

 

[Morri]

I would try and get some piccies but they are too small I am thinking temporalis as well as they hang around the shell but my female Cyp that had a mouthful no longer has a mouthfull

Are they being protected? Im surprised theyve not been eated already.
