[portabuddy]

these little guys are about a month or so old... i didnt see any of the potental parrent caring laying or cairing for them so i have no clue who the parrents are? i thinks its my firebacks but who knows they are still yound, right now they are 3/4" or a bit bigger... there is only three and they are all realy smart and adorable, they each swim out grab a pellet and suck on it spinning them in there mouths. no ther spawnings since or before, this is my first batch so far in 4 years keeping them....

I think that this is the father?>? but who knows???









WHERE AM I???

Thanks guys, this is my first cichlid batch so im excited... i havent seen her yet but my brother calls me at work and says... um one of the female firebacks is looking a bit fat, so i ask him if she is fat closer to her head or tail, he says that she looks rounder towards the tail, so most likely she is carying egs and i might have a bit more in two weeks
