somethings in the water at my house

[Arkie]

so last week my kribs and convicts laid eggs and they hatched a few days ago..... i went out and bought a pair of jewel cichlids to celebrate. i got them on thursday. today its saturday and the jewels are now spawning, right now, im watching them do it. im speechless at the moment hey.
im not drinking any water from my taps for a good long while.... two kids is enough for me thanx, lol

WOW! Your water must be some high quality water.

...the jewels are now spawning, right now, im watching them do it.

This just struck me as very funny. Only fellow fish geeks would understand why in the world someone would spend time enjoying watching their fish get intimate with each other! :18:

Very cool that you have the spawns. Great work!

[crackatinny]

Hobbs, all I can say is, trust you to come up with a comment like that. LOL.

[Incredulous_Ed]

That is so cool! hope the fry grow up to be happy and healthy :)

i saw the kriblets feeding last night!!!! about 30 of them, so cute. havent seen the convicts yet but they shouldnt be too far behind them, development wise. and the jewels hatched yesterday, but the parents have hid them behind a rock. now ive just noticed two of my swordtails should drop their babies within the next two weeks... thumbs2:

Speechless*

the convict fry are out today. there is like 100! both parents are carefully looking after them and the male tries to attack me through the glass, but im thinking i should do a waterchange soon the water is a tad cloudy. i might do several small changes daily, i think.

[Arkie]

[squirt_12]

omg....that would be alot of fry....lol

BTW...what are you going to do with all of these fry that you have right now???

[Arkie]

im lucky cause a mate at the pet shop said she'd take them for shop credit. so i can get some more fish and some food and stuff.

[squirt_12]

well thats good...i think that you should use the store credit to buy somemore tanks and see what else you can breed. lol.
