Surprise Baby Synos!

:(

And that was my last and only cat.

I'll stick around - I enjoy the conversation and community on Planet Catfish!

In other news ... my turtle is doing well! Watch live, now. http://www.sandeeland.com/fishcam/

Re: Surprise Baby Synos!

... I always get something, a credit or whatever. I brought in a beautiful show Tang the other day ... that's kept me in frozen krill for 3 months! ;) They're good guys, once you get to know them. Have you been there lately? A guy fondly ref. to as "Little Patrick" is my favorite. Nice guy, honest ...

Re: Surprise Baby Synos!

Must be a Petricola, never had a Lucipinnis! And yes, a few Cichlids were in that tank as I consolidated, but geez NO Petricolas. Anything could happen I guess ... hey, as long as this guy is happy and healthy, I'm all smiles! SO great that I have at least one (because my husband "made me" give away ...

Re: Surprise Baby Synos! 2 months old now!

Very happy to report that my little guy is getting bigger! Fat and happy too!

Take a look ... yes, def. Tanganyikan, looking like a Multi to me, but I still don't know how! He's just shy of about an inch ...

Re: Baby Syno is getting bigger ...

Well, the little guy is growing well! I so wish I didn't lose the other one, but doing my best to care for this baby!

He's tough to video, but you can see he's got some good definition now.

Re: Surprise Baby Syno! < singular >

Sad news. One of the baby Synos died today. It appears he wandered into the core of the Rena heater and didn't know how to get out (?) - got too hot (?) - I'm guessing. I saw his tail, carefully removed him and saw he was barely alive. He wiggled a few times, then stopped. :( Question - a few of you ...

Re: Surprise Baby Synos!

I just shot this HD video - except for when it does an auto-focus, you can REALLY see some detail on these 2 little guys. The tank bottom is bare, so you'll see a reflection - but that's actually helpful. You can clearly see their white barbels, eyes and fins. Big bellys as they just ate and were ...

Never ever. Those pix were of Synos in my mild tank. Gotta be Brichardi mix ... 'she' was the last one to go. Regarding my water changes - every week, 20%. Tap water with conditioner. Nothing special. Spirulina flake. Mysis every so often as a treat. Lastly, stupid of me not to pay closer attention ...

Sadly, I hadn’t taken many shots lately, due to my big move – but I did take this one last one, for no reason other than to show the guy buying the tank (that it held water). Who knew, I had Syno babies lurking about! :( http://s91595436.onlinehome.us/pix/thumbs/lrg-1068-halfemptytank.jpg As you can ...

Great to hear your comments, and very cool that we're all sharing in the excitement ... I'll get into the details of the tank soon, in the meantime, here's a video progress report! You can start to see them more clearly now!

It really is fascinating. I had 2 125g tanks full of Cichlids and Synos - I had plenty of Cichlid babies, but this is a first for me! I sold my Grannies, broke down each tank, and now this ... something tells me I'll be starting up another FW tank soon! LOL ... mind you, after giving away a 75g tank ...

Surprise Baby Synos!

One would think ... but they were among the first to go - could there have been eggs for over a month???

Compared to cichlid fry, they're only 2 weeks old ...

I can see their little catfish whiskers ... fully defined. Just amazing.
