August breeding success

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
UPDATE: Stripped another yellow lab this morn and have 25 more eggs tumbling away.(anyone need any yellow labs,lol) Also had another spawn from my brichardis-too many to count there but i would guess at around 75 or so.

I love brichardi's. AT what age do you think they start spawning?

My best guess would be at around 7-8 months at the earliest. I went out and purchased a group of 8 of them. They were appx 1.5 inchs when i got them. Shortly there after getting them i lost 1 about ever week. I couldnt figure this out. I was down to 3 of them before i knew what was going on. I saw 2 of them fighting and the outcome was that i was left with 1 male and 1 female. I still dont know which one is which because they are almost identical. Ever since the last one died, they have been spawning about ever 3 weeks. Takes these little guys forever it seems like to grow to 3/4 of an inch.
 
Males will have longer tails. The cresent thing. I want to get a small pair for my 18G and sell the fry to lfs for a tidy profit.
 
As requested, pics of this months new borns and some misc pics.
