Well, it didn't take long for the spawn ! Pics, too L400s

Post by vanillarum »

Brief story: Sunday, I found a little, white fry with an egg sac swimming in the L400 tank. Needless to say, since I've only had my new group (I had 2 males previously) of 400s about 2 weeks (3m/2f), I was pretty surprised. And today, I picked up a piece of driftwood in the 400 tank, and found at least 2 more, larger fry ! So I actually think I've been asleep or in a trance for the last 2 weeks, as there seems to have been 2 spawns ! Now I gotta find out what else I missed. Here's a few, lesser quality pics:

I believe this is the dad of at least 1 spawn:

Congratulations!! They will keep on spawning and this species grows rather fast and the fry will get darker and darker when they grow up. :D
