herefishiefishie Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 4 weeks ago I took these pics just before I took the babies out, {A.Calvus"White"} Shes a good mum, even bites my finger if I have my hands to close... The good news is, that with me at a new job, more time to get it right{touch wood} Spent more time with set up of the fry tank & micro worm culture seems to be making a difference...photo taken yesterday, 4 weeks old, probably lost 10 all up, at least 50-100 in there. Results of 2 batches, 1 from each female, only a few days apart too in age. So should be fine. Just a shame the tank is under a shelve, bugger all lighting. The female in pic, has more babies again too, so they will need a new tank :-? I have a few days to sort it out :roll: The other female had the male down at her end of the tank today, looks like I will need mulitple little tanks :lol: Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 As a guess I would say the female is about 5-6cm.Male 8cm. I will have a measure when I see them & think that next. Hard to shoot/measure male, hes such a shy fella. Both are just oevr 2&1/2 years old. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
