Waking up Christmas morning I found that my festae fry are free swimming! No better present than seeing those little guys hover around their mom. I am getting a flip camcorder tomorrow morning, so I will post a video as soon as I figure out how to operate that. Happy holidays!
 
congradulations... awesome.. happy xmas...
 
nice sweet thing to find
 
I've never had fry. For some reason my firemouths never would spawn.

That is very unfortunate. I had convicts that spawned often but I never really thought anything of that. Then I decided to try my hand at breeding festae and I bought 4 females for my male. He picked one after about a month, and here we are about 1 month later and they have now have fry! It is a very young pair, so hopefully I have a lifetime of courtship to lookforward to.
 
Grats man, I look foreward to seeing some shots of the fry around their parents.
 
Well the camcorder I wanted was sold out at the 2 stores I looked at, so I had to order it online. Should be here in a few days and I will get some videos up. And thanks for the congrats everyone!
 
Congrats! Keep a divider handy.In case the female isn't ready to breed when the male is next time.That is the only time mine fight

Thanks guys! I actually have the male seperated at the moment with the fry because this is their first time breeding and I have heard that the male often gets aggressive when the fry become free swimming. Have you had any problems with this fishluvr12?
