RTM's had Fry

[VRWC]

Heres pics of the newly hatched fry from some Rapps F1's. There are about 1500 total, all in a few separate balls around the tank. Male is about 8", Female about 5-6". The flash blew out the colors of the parents...but the female is beautiful.

In about 2-3 weeks, these fry will be going in a 1/2 acre pond by themselves for the summer. In a separate 1/2 acre pond, about 800 Costa Rican Dovii fry will be released...and if things go the way I hope, my wild caught Festae will have some fry, which will be going in yet another 1/2 acre pond by themselves.

I have a friend in a local colleges Aqua-Tech program and he has access to the ponds for the summer. We will be pulling them all by September 1st.

The different substrate pic is of the pair before they were put in their own tank.
