Blue Occie's Spawned

[shellies215]

I found my first batch of fry peeking out of the shell last night. I didn't even think these fish were mature yet, and I'm not sure of my male/female ratio of the adults ( I have 8). The parents aren't letting the fry out of the shell yet, but if you look closely, there is one peeking it's head out at the bottom right corner of the shell opening. These are definitely the smallest fry I have ever seen. (click to enlarge)

I see nothing, but when my shellies have fry it takes days before you can even see them.

Selling any?

I might have some for sale towards the end of the summer, I'm waiting to see how often they produce, and the fry have to be grown out for a few months before shipping.
