I like his tail spike...almost like he’s going to get a lyretail

Gosh, our pairs of HRPs are Keeping schedules good haha seems out bathes are 1 week apart roughly

I was right, mum and pops was guarding fry. Mum brought them out today for the first time. That's now 2 batches of fry in the tank now. The other batch is about 3/8ths to 1/2in in size.

Ahh sooo cute!
This is one from the previous spawn. With that far little belly you can tell it's eating good.

Pop's tending the new spawn


Mom's turn on guard duty

Check out the crazy blue mom's pelvic fins turn.

Mom and Dad herding the new spawn around.

Well looks like I have to set up my 5gal and save what I can of the other batch. Watched the parents kill this guy cause it got close to the new spawn.

 

[Jexnell]

Nope they have to chance it with mom and dad. It appears that when the old roommate moved he took the heater, airpump, and filter for the 5gal.........

Well they at e this last batch, probably due to roommates moving in and out. But I did find some baby Plattys or Swordtails during today's water change. Oh, did I mention that I had to put the Swordtails in the 55gal now, both the Texans and Devil's were picking on them, not to mention the Devil's killed 4 of them.
