I am so jealous of your fish collection!

Congrats on the eggs and fry... I can't wait to see mini versions of the adults.

I don't see these fish very often! Very cool collection.

Thanks kribensis12, invader and blue acara
Little update day 2, let them out of the tumbler as they looked cramped, they change so quick at this age that there is a difference in them from this morning till tonight, still attached to egg sack so too heavy to get off bottom at moment.
this morning

tonight (since this morning you can now see eyes and more tails)

regards Angel

[angelmouse]

thanks nelly. I go away on tuesday, typical to be presented with fry when i'm not gona be there, i'm gona have to find a fishsitter.

 

[england]

you got anyone? is there not someone on here thats near you? cant remember

 

[mike os]

fantastic angel

once they get bigger, keep me in mind

 

[angelmouse]

sure mike, no problem.
gona see if my dad will put afew specs of zm fry food in while i'm away, but people that don't keep fish can be heavy handed with food. Polleni fry are very canibalistic so it will be survival of the fitist.
Tonight some are just getting off the bottom of the tank, still abit heavy though
regards Angel
