Great news. I usually wait for Paratilapia to become free swimming before removing 3/4 of the clutch. Feeding is always labor intensive. I used to loose 50% of my fry if I didn't decapsulate the brine shrimp.
I notice you are in Canada... if you are near the GTA, and you manage to raise a few of those large spots I'd be interested in taking a couple off your hands..
Here are my breeding pair . The glass is really really dirty !! I need to get some paper towel. Once again I tried taking pictures of the babies . But with the dirty glass and the pos camera . Pictures wont turn out yet . I am from central Canada .
