Sophia Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Saw it last night, roaming through a gap in the floating plants. Tail thin like thread, head the size of a pin head and maybe 5mm long. Haven't seen it since, or any others, they are hidey little buggers. :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Spotted fry again! I have been searching and searching the riccia on the top for a wiggle but then I saw him on the bottom hanging out on the rock. As he's transparent he blends in very well and the other fish so far take no notice. Fishy is a miniature killie complete with mini fins, goggle eyes and mouth that chomps things. 5mm long. I was beginning to think he had either been eaten or I'd been seeing things. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Fishy is a miniature killie complete with mini fins, goggle eyes and mouth that chomps things. 5mm long. They are little piggies - I have some that are not even half grown that managed to mow down 40 odd newly born guppy fry - they are living in the sump now as pennance :-?

Sophia Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I took the driftwood out to attach more plant this morning, and on a scrappy little piece that has a scrappy piece of half brown java fern, I found 5 eggs stuck in among the roots. Like little pearls, but clear. Little daddy fish hangs out there, I suspect they are his brood. Unless he's tenderising them for snacks at dusk. the plant I added was windelov and it has a really good set of roots, I think this will be one of the new egg laying places.

Barrie Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 if they are clear, they are newly laid and probably OK eggs are clear for the first up to a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 fry seen again last night. Could swear it is a different one as it seemed smaller than the last time. I need a way of getting them to gather up for posing so I know if it's the same one or if there are more :roll: growwwww little fries!

Sophia Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I am convinced now that it's just one main fry - seen him quite regularly over the last few days. Is getting quite brave, meandering along the front middle of the tank glass, pottering along on the bottom eating stuff. Is nice to see him out and about. He has been eyed by the big male and found to be not worth eating as a meal and left alone again. The eggs that I saw on the bottom of the wood scrap have either hatched or been eaten as they are now gone. Found another egg on the bottom of the driftwood when I took it out to add a plant, and another egg in the cabomba I pulled out, so I dropped that into the middle of the new christmas moss.

Zev Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Ten, but they do not have to have hatched at the same time for killies. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/index.php?PG=breedingscheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Today is a 2 Fry day! For the first time I have seen 2 fry at the same time, so I definitely have 2, they aren't just zipping around quickly. I can tell which is Original Fry, the other is definitely younger and less developed. Fry 2 was at the surface so I managed to get him some dried brine shrimp before the greedy gobblers ate it. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
