Shooting for the Texas 3-Peat!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron R.]

I am pumped tonite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been patiently waiting for my black moba momma to drop her tube. It has been a slow process........not sure why. I have seen the tiniest bit of tube and then a little more and little more. Tonite it's showing pretty good, but still has a little more to go.

Here's a little background..........I have 16 F1 egg-bound wigglers in the tumbler. I have a 2nd moba momma with eggs in her mouth right now and I'll strip her this Sunday. Now this 3rd momma is getting ready to spawn. I'm hoping she'll make some moba babies this week.

Guess what she's having for dinner?????

She is very elusive so it was hard to take pics...........here they are:

hiding in a cave.........see how black she is!!!!!!!

close-up of extending tube....i'm keeping my eye on you!

a blurry side shot.........the white dot is her tube right under the 3rd light/bluish white stripe.

she's in back and with the alpha male daddy. he is not the biggest male in the tank, but he is the big daddy.

16 egg-bound wigglers. these are the ones I stripped early on day 10. I had 20 and 4 were never fertilized. I had 1 with just a head.

another tumbler pic

last tumbler pic with my 16 little jewels.

Thank you for letting me share my excitement with you guys and gals!!!!!!!

I wish I was close to you. I would love to come and see all of this... I would also love to get a hold of a few babies... but I will be sad in not having that chance, but excited things are going well for you...

Mike, yes, it's a moba factory.......no kidding bro! I have been very blessed with this colony.....btw, I got this wc colony over 2 1/2 years ago from Tyrone over at TNT Cichlids up your way. It all starts with having A-1 stock.

If you ever make your way on a road trip down to Houston, be sure to look me up.......you'll get the full tour........it all happens in my 180g tank and diy floating nurseries.
