I was looking at my Frontosas earlier and noticed one acting a bit strange,
and it looked like it had a bad case of mumps, well I figured the reason
for this is she is holding, and not just eggs, I can see black in her mouth.
so i'm figuring fry? And I never even seen them courting.lol
Here's a few pics what do you guys think?

Yay!!!!
She certainly looks like my kids when I walk in on them in the pantry and they try to hide the evidence, LOL.

And I think you're right, they look like fry!!

That's awesome!! (I'm dancing a jig for you Mike,:hmm3grin2orange:)

You know we'll expect lots and lots of pics to keep us up to date with their development?

Woohoo! Baby fronnies!!!:1luvu: :11: :19:

hey Mike! Looks like she's holding alright.... I've been stripping mine because they swallow them around day 15 or so. If they are black, then she's been holding for awhile (front eggs are pinkish) and has fry. The fry should be fairly large and easy to raise.

CONGRATS ON THE FRONTOSA FRY!!! thumbs2: :19: :18:

She actually dropped one last night and sucked it up again
soI know there are fry for sure, I think i'll move her to a
breeding tank and let her spit them.

Frontosas don't have that many babies WT, but I have no problem moving them on, they are very sought after in these parts.

NG i'm glad it was the fish too, :hmm3grin2orange:
