So I have been pretty busy, but I got my Midas to breed a second time. So was able to send some fry back with "Blue Demp" to be split up between him and "Mad about Cichlids" It was the fist time I have packed fish, but they made it on the flight no problem.
Worst part was having to wear a glove and being torn up by angry Midas parents. I am sure Lecorps can upload the picture of the glove afterwards I had to wear. It was toast. Wish I would have gotten more though. When we sucked them out using a mini python, we weren't getting many out of the pot. So I chalked it up to this being their second spawn in 2 weeks. However, when I came home later that night I found that there was a cloud that arose from the pot in the hundreds. I have removed the school of Platties until I get the 300g my wife keeps promising. They are in a 55g living the dream with other grow out plants. My pair don't bother the other fish except for the Salvini who have made the mistake of going in and snatching a few. I will be selling most of those in the next week along with my clown loaches and half my plecos. I will most likely get orders soon when I cross train so it's probably time to thin out my stock a bit. Anyway, enjoy.

Here is Lecorps aka "Blue Demp" on the left, and I am on the right being drowned out by the sun. Photographer didn't let us know the light was an issue. "Junior" of course is in the middle.
