so here it starts, fry, fry!

so my fish are all at it, it started with my angels but no luck with the fry, my convicts and now my swords...so ive started this thread to keep track of them all... this morning i found the mother out the breeding bucket, after putting her back in community tank i found afew babies, probably 20 or so


i'll keep updating as these fry grow and as new fry are born... i just love my little babies, the fish bug has bitten me bad...

 

Nice Dude, thats a great feeling right there...

 

Congrats grandad!

 

Congrats on your fry jc16....why do people think you a man...lol if they read the frontosa thread they will find out you are a LADY..... or are guys the only ones who keep fish.

 

thanks @Ebrahim, i have no idea why but i guess only men use the name jc- it's my nickname as thats the bottle my perants had the night they made me and the numbers are my kids birthdays... ive gotten used to it plus i wouldn't mind being the fly on the wall then they catch on im female

 

Eish... jc sounds so much like a guy
Jesus Christ
Julius Caesar
Jean Claude Van Damme
JCL

At least your parents didn't have a 'Red Bull' or 'Monster' energy drink on that night -lol

 

lol... even sterlingAce didn't know you are a lady.... sterlingAce you got backup on TASA

 

Congrats @jc16 I guess it comes naturaly to u the mothering part I think its cool. All ur fish are breeding u must be doing everything right

 

i wouldn't say im doing everything right but i do try... thank godness not all my fish are breeding as i'd be in big trouble for tank space... at one point all my tanks had heater's, filters and then i moved lots broke and now alot of my tanks arnt running...had to sell up alot of my fish... need to get about 45 1ft tanks and about 10 2ft just for my siamese fighters, never mind my malawi projects and frontosa projects... hopefully the breeding will bring in some cash to buy more tanks

 

Wow that's very impressive @jc16 , you should post more pictures . And sorry for thinking you are a guy.

 

Congrats on the fry jc Agree with SterlingAce... more pics

 

na it's totally fine, i didnt take offence to it

 

will post more pictures as soon as everyone in proper tanks, because of the breeding and future plans all my fish are in tempory tanks, what a confusion! my poor angels are young and keep eating there fry, the convicts are confused 2 females laying eggs together so now ive moved them to separte tanks with the choosen males so once these fish get things right i post pics of there fry... will post updates on swords fry on day 7 again... the swords are in my daughters tank but they've become mine as shes lost intrest in them, im hoping my young mollies will also breed soon
