Just sharing some pictures of my brooding blue dolphin moorii

[Justmick]

The wait is killing me. I am so excited☺ this is a first for me and Mama
I found the little one on the bottom of the tank I put her in about 3 days after she was tansfered to it. Not sure if it made it, but she is still holding the rest

Nice colors, peacock? Mystery hybridus.

Thank you, the male has some really good color to so I hope the fry inherit the good coloring.
To be honest with you I am so new at the fish keeping world that I am still trying to figure out how to tell what kind I have in the tank. but I believe it is a peacock.

New photos.....she released them finally
I tried to get a close-up of the fry but not very good. I am taking these pictures on my phone but you can see them ☺

the fry still kickin?

 

[Justmick]

I don't think I have lost any so far Mama is very good with them. I lost count at 34 fry ( I think there are around 40ish) and I have not seen any dead ones so far
Still not sure what I am going to do with so many fishes but we will see how many make it be fore I start to panic. hope to get a bigger tank for them before they out grow this one

I tried to get them in one place so I could take a picture but that is not happening without really upsetting mom and them.. I can wait
In the last picture you can see some of them (better in the reflection )

Hi All
I have a question for any one that will help...
I have looked and looked but cannot find anywhere that tells you about how to keep the fry alive long enogh to call fishes. I have found Breeding but not riseing them.... I am afraid to feed them to much but also the right kind of foods. Right now I am feeding approximately 50 fry 1 cube of frozen (thawed in water taken from the tank) baby shrimp brine 3x a day.
Is that too much...not enough....Help
Thank you
