[Brookfish]

I stripped my female Frontosa earlier and was rewarded with
19 healthy babies, here they are 1 hour old!

My other mama front died about 2 months ago, she was about 9" and usually had around 17-20, i thought at that size she should have had more like 35-40, oh well she was a really good fish, she would actually swim into the net so i could get her out, this new mama front is a freekn spaz!! But i cant complain about having front fry..thumbs2:

I stripped this Front to early about 10 day ago and she sucked the
eggs up again, now she has produced this brood, pretty amazing fish!

Good job Mike! I also stripped a female last night. Had to take out most of my decor (what a PITA). Got 17-20 fry now sitting in a breeder net in my sump. In the process of building a stand/canopy for a 55g grow-out tank (my dads winter project). Cool how they have the striped already eh?

[Brookfish]

Yes stripes at one hour old, pretty amazing, congrats on your fry as well mate.thumbs2:

Yes, congrats to us all! Mine laid eggs at the end of september, so I was a little late in stripping her, but she held 'em. :)
