    I really hope the fry does well! Especially since they have been fathered by my favourite fish (He is the one that would have gone missing if I where to look after your tanks :p)

    @HennieRoux, I'm sure they will be fine as long as somebody feeds them and do water changes for you.

    @arcky1 ja these guys will not put on enough size on them, so i will not be able to put them with the other fry, as they are 2 months old now. So not sure what i`m going to do with these guys.
