FH BABIES

[BIG REDD]

MY FLOWERHORN HAVE FINALLY BRED SUCCESSFULLY. THEY ARE BOTH A MIX OF THE OLD KOKSTER STRAIN AND BLUE DRAGON. I GUESS THERES ABOUT 500 WIGGLERS IN THE TANK. ILL POST PICS SOON AS I CAN GET THEM UP. THE PARENTS ARE GREAT AND HAVENT EATEN ANY OF THE BABIES. EITHER WAY, THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD!!!! :naughty: :thumbsup: :clap :woot:

watch out for the parents. mine was ok for about a week. afterwards, the male suddenly became territorial and killed my female. just to be sure...transfer them both to separate tanks.....feed the frys with brine shrimps

IM GONNA TRY TO HAVE PICS UP BY THE WEEKEND. I THINK I WILL TAKE YOUR ADVICE AND MOVE THE FATHER OUT OF THE TANK. HES NOT GETTING MEAN OR ANYTHING, BUT I DONT WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES. I HAVE THE HIKARI FIRST BITES FOR THE FRY, BUT I STILL SEE THEIR YOLK SACS SO I HAVENT TRIED ANY FOOD FOR THEM YET. IT SHOULD BE FUN TO WATCH THEM GROW, CONSIDERING THE PARENTAGE, THERE MAY BE SOME LARGE HEADED FISH IN THERE. :headbang2 EITHER WAY, IM SURE THERE WILL BE A LOT OF THEM. WHEN DO THEY START FREE SWIMMING AND HOW LONG BEFORE THEY SHOW A LITTLE PERSONALITY? :D

hi

[Apocalypse]

Congratulations! :clap

I suggest growing your own baby brine shrimp for them. It is very easy and quite inexpensive. I believe it is a much better source of protein for the fry during this development stage.

Keep us posted! :woot:

arent FH a hybrid therefore making the males sterile most of the time. I have only ever seen and witnessed one pair of hybrids breed and that was a pair of parrots and all 50 or so of their offspring were red devils... why can FH breed so easily?

im preatty shure that its the parrots hat are steli most of the time just the males tho females can lay fertil eggs fh male and females are both fretile
