My very first thread.

Hi members. My simple setup.

-40g long plexi.,
-no substrate, black background,
-Powerhead circulates water. I have'nt had time purchase a filter.
-10-25% water chages every 3-5 days,
-Hikari Gold,
-78-82 degrees,
-Male is 3.5in, Female is 3in,
-Laid eggs on front-right corner of tank 4 days ago, I expect eggs to hatch tomorrow:) :).

I had this tank laying around for the past few months and just recently decided to use it. I wanted something simple for the tank, but was fun and not a goldfish. I found this beautiful male at one store, and knew right away he needed a mate. To lower the possibility of inbreeding, I went to other stores in the area and found this plump, brightly colored female. 4 days later, they started breeding. My setup is at its simplest form.
 
The batch hatched this morning. Yeeah.
 
congrats man. any plans for the fry yet?
 
congrats and good luck with the fry. what are you going to feed the fry? where are you going to keep the fry while they grow out?
 
Thanks. I scored on a three stage aquarium setup. A local Asian supermarkets was scrapping n old Tilapia/mussel setup. The thing is unique to me, so I picked it up. The middle tank(30g) is for my pair, and the other levels are for growouts.

As for my fry, looks like I'm blessed with 100. I always start my fry off with bbs in their first week or two, and then move on to crush flake.:thumbsup:
