I think maybe so. I've heard that Electric Blues stay a little smaller than the non line bred ones.
Honestly nobody really looks to be growing very much in the tank these days, they're all just...

I think the color comes through all right - he is in fact a very pale yellow. It's just hard to get him in focus.
Silver dollars are notorious plant eaters. They've been exposed to a few...

The first fish into the tank, the longest fish, and overall boss, is the Sailfin Pleco. He doesn't raise the sail unless he's making a point, but it's spectacular...

With help from forum members, I came up with a list of seven different central/south american cichlids to add. They've all been in the tank for a couple years now, starting at juvenile sizes.
...

My stocking plan for this tank was a bit unusual. The two species I knew I wanted for sure were clown loaches and an oscar. Given that oscars are large and predatory and loaches are slow growing,...

In August of 2012, I purchased a used 300 gallon acrylic tank. I worked on it for several months before being ready to stock it with fish. I detailed the construction of the tank and life of the...

Hey everybody,
I got an automatic "happy birthday" email from aquatic community, which reminded me that I haven't been on here in forever. So... I thought I'd stop in, and see how everyone's...

The yellow lab released her second batch of babies and I managed to grab one of them. So now I have a two month old and a few day old fry in a tank in my office.
...
-
And in related news I think the yellow lab is holding again. Is that possible? Spawn, one month holding eggs, one month not holding any more, spawn again?
-
I've thought about trying to get them, but am deciding against it for a couple reasons:
1. It would likely be a nightmare trying to get them out, given all the fake plants and holey rock they have...
-
He's for sure a hybrid of yellow lab + something else. Unless there's another female in the tank that was also holding at the same time as the yellow lab and I missed it.
-
It's been one month now since the yellow lab let the fry go. I've still got two that I know of in the main tank plus the one I fished out of the filter in a 10g tank. I think the one in the 10g is...
-
I got a group of 9 of them six years ago. 8 of those died off gradually over the first couple years, but one of them has been going strong since then. Life span is said to be 3-5 years so I guess...
-
Keep in mind: fry were the last thing on my mind up until about a week ago. Whenever I've used a prefilter on my other tanks it gets gunked up and cuts down flow pretty quickly. I might have to...
-
Today I decided to give the canister filter a cleaning, partially because It's been a while and partially because I've heard of people finding fry in there. Sure enough, there was one in there. I...
-
I can certainly handle a FEW additions. But if the yellow lab spawned one time and there were 3+ survivors, and we can assume it will spawn additional times... and the new babies might be capable of...
-
And this morning the THIRD baby appears.
Might be time to start talking to the CEO about setting up a second tank with a predator...
-
The baby fish survived the weekend. Around lunch time it relocated from a rock in the corner of the tank to a plant in the middle. As I watched, it swam under one leaf... and then appeared from a...
-
between the silk plants and the holey rock, there are many places a fry could go and not get eaten. It's just a question of whether the fry are smart enough. I just watched the Zebra Obliquidens...
-
This morning I was looking at the tank and some movement caught my eye. There is a baby fish hiding under a rock, dashing out to nibble on some algae. So I guess that confirms the mouthbrooding,...
-
Correct! Total of eight fish across two orders. Zero problems, all fish arrived in good health and are in good health to this day. Might get a few more cichlids for the office tank in a couple...
-
Today, exactly four weeks after I noticed the bulge in the yellow lab's throat, the bulge is gone and the fish is eating normally. It's possible I've misdiagnosed the whole situation but the timing...
-
I had wondered if it would be possible to load the samples into a spectrometer and see what you find. Spectrometers tend to be very expensive though, although we do have a couple at work. It looks...
-
Thank you so much for all the feedback. Time to pull back the curtain... and tell you all why you're wrong! ...don't worry, I'm probably wrong too.
On Sunday night, it had been four days since a...

thanks for your analysis. I don't want to spoil anything because I hope more people will take a crack at it, but Spardas's readings cannot be correct.
