Hi guys,
Just wanted to share my second GT pair of the month. My first pair includes the same female but with a younger male. Nice male but I decided to grow him out like I've done with this male. Anyway, just woke up from a power nap and, lo and behold, they spawned within the 3 hours. I took this video earlier today but I had introduced the male to the female this past Monday. My male has the bulk genetics seen a few years back. My friend, Pao aka ReallyBigFish, had the amazing bloodline. The female I picked up from a family-owned pet store, a really nice shop here in the Bronx. I could have let my male spawn with a female from the same batch but I've never been a fan of incest. I'm planning on doing a water change later today so I'll setup the tank to accommodate frys long-term. I apologize for the terrible video. I'll try to do a better job on the next update but I hope you guys enjoy.

Thanks bro!!! What happened to him?
He got a severe case of duck lips.... There was really no way to bring him back so after a few days I put him down....
He is probably my favorite fish of all time... He was 9" when he died...heres a pic taken in june... Ive probably bought a dozen gt's and havent got one with as much personality... ohh well thats enough derailing....

That's really unfortunate. I knew he was going to be gorgeous but I'm sorry for the loss :( You should have let me know you were looking for another nice male. But anyway thanks again. I definitely plan on growing out some of these frys.
