No sign of fry, yet both Keyholes are out & about, feeding etc. Fairly sure the fry are gone. Oh well, I'd prefer they wait 'til they're bigger anyway.
Great story concerning the praecox. I bought them at the super center (not walmart) where I work. As we're not allowed to help ourselves off the clock I asked one of my managers to get them for me. He was surly, and obviously did NOT want to net fish for me. I was very specific about what I wanted, pointing out males and or females for him to net. As he was bagging them up he said "you know these fish probably won't breed, they're from the tropics and are very sensitive...blah, blah, blah" I just smiled and said I'd bred a great many "sensitive" tropical fish. I didn't tell him I was once in the fish breeding biz....I wanted to say "I don't think you know who you're talking to" but that would've been just a little too pompous even for me. It's especially funny to me when you consider praecox are reccomended for beginners...and even funnier when it was me who told him the difference between m/f praecox...and he somehow thought I was in need of his advice, lol!
