First off, a few "Thanks" are in order. Thanks to VMike for caring and raising this Location "Z" for the past few years... we did it buddy. To my buddy Gani/Ruck Fules for passing the torch so I could take a stab at spawning "Kamodo/Big Mike".... And to UmbeeKing (Chris) for bringing in this little itty bitty "Location Z" into the hobby.
The first spawn took place earlier last month after a week of courtship between the WC "Location Z" male and my WC Rio Magdalena female. She was originally paired up with my "Location X" male and was a prolific breeder.... figured she would probably be a shoe in for "Big Mike". I took several safety measures to protect her (as she's on of my favorite fish) from being murdered since Big Mike has been known to put the smack down on his ladies. The fry have since been pulled and in a growout tank.... the numbers of the "Mag-Z" are very limited as he didn't do a great job during spawning. He's an OLD fella and blind in one eye so his aim was a bit off. Not sure if he has anything left in the chamber after this spawn.... he looks like he's starting to give out to old age.
Enjoy. (make sure you watch it in HD)
