Gt fry, one month old.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ah these actual Green Terror fry (A. stalsbergi) or are they Orange saums fry (A. rivulatus)?
I've got had a batch of F2 stalsbergi hatch just yesterday, it's a new Andinoacara spawn for me, I've not bred this particular species before.
Still working on Andinoacara biseriatus though.

Congrats on your hatchlings! Are you growing them out with the parents or separately?

That's great, a pair of good looking saums there.

I have taken the eggs away and will raise them myself. This was done because the parents are young and they are in a tank with another 5 F1 stalsbergi, 6 WC saums, 6 F1 saums, and 3 A. biseriatus (I'm sorting tanks atm to separate them)
I thought it would be too much work for the parents to raise them in a busy tank like that.
The tank is 7x2x2' btw :)

I have two large WC male stalsbergi that I bought as a pair, but turns out one was a sub dominant male who wasn't showing is fin extensions and looked female, it's one of those things I guess.

I've got A. pulcher in another tank and also an undescribed species, probably sp. Río Inirida, they came in from Colombia as pulcher, but very obviously aren't.

I am waiting on some sp. "Choco" and a group of TB pulcher from Trinidad origins :)

Thanks, yeah I have had a sort out in the fish house and I'm concentrating now on Andinoacara species, I have a few other fish, but mainly plecs and corydoras.

It's all about the obsession now :)

I've even started a website about all the different Andinoacara species, Andinoacara.com there are more than you think, and I've found a few I didn't know about while researching then.

Mrse88, you inspired me. I picked up a new heater and a sponge filter today so I can use my 15g QT tank as a place to grow fry...

That's so exciting! How soon will you be pulling fry?
 
Update pic. This is one of the bigger fry.

Really starting to get some color. The body is looking really green. I kinda think this may be a female or it's just the moms genes really showing up in this one.
Surprisingly the little stunted one has been growing. Still only half the size of the others, but it is growing.
I saw a torn tail fin on one the other day so they have begun fighting a bit. Nothing serious yet, but finding new homes might be sooner then I was planing.
