Hemichromis exsul

Congrats! That's awesome. First Batch?

Yes, this was the first batch. I removed this one and then promptly got two more batches; one from a second pair, followed a few days later by the original pair. Unfortunately I didn’t remove either of those spawns because I just don’t have enough space right now. I had four other spawns of stuff I was raising out.

The Lake Turkana jewel cichlid, from the Kenyan Rift Valley. These are just starting to trickle into North America. I was lucky enough to grab a small group that was bred in Germany. It looks like a female is finally accepting a male. Hopefully they continue to color up; they're not quite as bright red as the ones I've seen online. They've only been here for about 10 days and are still in QT so maybe they just need to settle in more.

Them are nice fish...good luck
