congrats on the spawn man!

Congratulations Peter, very nice work.

Lovely photographs and video too, they look like very good parents.

Thanks guys

I took most of the fry out last night and they were doing well this morning. They are probably a few days old already - goes to show wimpy my other fish are

are they going to ken or are you keeping the fry? How is their aggression when breeding?

No aggression whatsoever. The dominant male spawns with multiple females.

They are going to Ken to enjoy live brine shrimp. I would like to get a few back when they are bigger to see how their pattens change as they grow. Especially interested in the mid-lateral spot and the lappets on the dorsal-fin spines.

nice, how big do they get 6"-7"? I like those a lot.

SWEET thats awesome they FINALLY had babies for you, these guys are sooooo adorable is their any word on when they might be officially identified? i think 'cutie' should definitely be mixed into their official name somehow

I think the dominant male is probably 5-6" (eyeballing). The females are around 4".

Thanks . It's probably going to be a while before they are described, if ever. We should probably give it a temporary name, like "white terror" or something

TOTALLY Introducing...(drum roll).... THE WHITE TERROR!! beware of putting it in tank with ANY other fish LMAO

those are cool looking...

 

[honda237]

would those do well with the my 90 stocking in a bigger tank of course? i would love some white terrors. You are making me rethink between doing a 240 peaceful or aggressive.

Yep Very distinct look and they play well with peaceful tank mates.

I think so, as long as you grow them out first. So you have a few months to decide
