Geophagus sp. "orange head" fry

[fishyNZ]

My B-line juvies are now nearly 4 months old and most are or about 5cm in size; a few are closer to 6cm.  Here is one of the growout tanks:

A number have already been sold through private channels whilst a sale post have been placed recently into one of the local Wellington Facebook groups' page.

Their parents have spawned a new batch of eggs within the last 24 hours.  Here's a video of them prior to spawning:

The new batch is the third one.  Like hovmoller's, most of the second batch were eaten.  I saved about a dozen of the second batch through separation.  The second batch were spawned around June, about 7-8 weeks after the first one.

For size estimates, that catappa leaf is about 22cm long, which would put the male (at the back) roughly around 12cm at 24 months old.

Wow, got a decent number growing out! These guys look fantastic. Glad to see people are breeding them.

Got a new batch of fry (A-line) over the last weekend so I now have approximately 200+ new Geophagus orangeheads to grow out.

There are still around 50 juveniles from the first batch; might do a clearance sale soon.

I'd like some when you are ready to offload them.
