Jennifer Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Guess how many fry (hint - not all are visible and these are what was left after I stole 2/3 of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 That is a really nice fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wow! That's one big spawn and a very nice looking female. Look's very different to the female I have. My guess would be near 40 fry remaining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Congrats! She should make a good mother too! I have an all male batch I think @ temp 24-25C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 There were over 80 fry in with her and around 160 that I stole from her a couple of weeks ago. Just lost the lot in the earthquake but I managed to scrape the male and another female off the garage floor - still alive so far. Amazingly saved a bunch of hongsloi but the shellies are dying of stress. Lost a lot of fish but big tanks are ok (sloshed out about 15cm of water onto the floor, flooding the carpet in the lounge). Water main is off due to split pipes and doors are off their hinges. Sitting in the sun with a cuppa after working on cleanup and rescue since 4.35 this morning. Gonna be a long week.

Caryl Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 What about your 2 tanks on the computer desk? They didn't slosh on anything electrical I hope? Been thinking of you all down there and was really worried about Donna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Gutted about the fish!. But glad you are safe and sound. Our thoughts are with you guys down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hope you are ok Jen. Its a shame about the fry and fish but at least the owner is alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Fish and tanks are easier to replace than people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Fish and tanks are easier to replace than people I agree, gutted about the fish but as long as everyone is ok fish can be replaced.. I know it is no consolation but you don't need to worry about shellies when you are ready for some more there are some here with your name on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Yep, same here. Agasazzi are here for you if you ever need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Been thinking of you Jennifer, especially knowing that your other half is up here atm. Makes it harder when you have to do it all yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Sorry for your losses Jen but glad you're OK. I've just finished cleaning up my mess so I'm free if you need a hand with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Good job saving the hongsloi fry. That sucks about the other fish though, especially the agassizii fry and the shellies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land_lubber Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hey Jennifer, have you looked at the new pics I took of my apisto's? looks like your female in these pics that you have posted. Maybe they are hongsloi :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
