Well I just had my first litter but to me they seem super small, around 3 in. Anyways the mom is a motoro who has some super spots developing and the dad is a mantilla.

Unfortunately I forgot to take pics, I just ran home from work to take care of things so I will load up some pics tomorrow. All seem to be swimming and doing fine for now.

Wish me luck!

Alright I now have them separated and in the 60g. All seems to be going well so far. I haven't tried to feed yet but will later tonight. All four measured between three and four inches with three of them having the long mantilla tail. 3m 1f.

Anyways here are a couple of cell phone pics, I'll grab the wifes dslr soon and take some better ones. The pics are all in random order, I will get one of each later so you can tell which is which.

One with mom

Yea not a lot of difference in them as of yet. Hopefully in a month or so I can see some good change. Sometime in the not so distance future I will by looking for a good female leo to hopefully eventually breed with my male mantilla to get some different hybrids.

Very nice mate, congrats!
You had ni issues with them being left in with the mum for a little while then?
Hear so many stories of pups getting torn up by the parents.
