malawiman Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Just got back in from work , early knock off for Xmas shout. Went to fishroom to tend fish and found one of my dolphins are holding. They still young and no sign of humps yet. This is the first time they spawned and hopefuly she'll hold on to them and not eat them. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbochromis_freak Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 hope she goes to term for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I was under the opinion that they couldn't breed until they are 10cm because that's when they become fertile I think. I have 2 pairs and one of the pairs was "breeding" this morning but she layed no eggs and didn't even have her egg layer out :lol: Good luck with them I had 60 of them at 4cm at one stange, I should have kept alot more of them. They are kool fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Visser Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Once they have spawned for the first time, and hold sucsesfully they are virtually unstoppable. Congrats, How big are they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 they also have a BIG tendancy to spit when I bred mine they wouldn't hold for more than 3 days so I stripped the eggs and raised every single one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawiman Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks. They between 10 and 13 cm. I'm just stoked that they spawned and will see what happens. Will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
