Today they have started to swim, I have only 16 haha the mom ate most of the eggs because they didnt stick and I had to move the remaining eggs to another tank and 16 made it..they are a cross of a super red dragon and a RD ZZ, the female is getting a little kok...I will be posting weekly updates on these fry, and the parrents are getting ready to breed again in a week or two.. here is a VIDEO LINK of one swimming http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUz289EFZ4E

yeah I will be in the next batch Im going to grow most of this batch out and keep a few females, Ill be selling the remaining juvies from this batch as well but they will be around 2 inches before I sell, wait for next batch they should lay in no more then 2 weeks :)
 
16 seem easy to taking care of, I breed these thing only one time and got like more than 1000 frys, taking care of them wasn't easy!
 
Yeah I have had huge batches in the past but this was the firs time for both parrents and the female was a bit confused luckily for me I have tons of tanks so taking care of 1-2 k wont be a problem :) and I grow brine shrimp to feed so its basically free to feed until they are bigger..
 
Another pic of the fry, they are lovin the brine shrimp and 14 of them are swimming nicely and getting bigger already, one of them is deformed or something its tail curves towards its mouth and it does spins when it swims...The parrents are already starting to nest and the egg tube is dropping again hopefully ill get 1000 or so this time around..comments welcome :)
