Bredders Please Help, Take My Fry!!!!

Hello all,

My pair of Ps. steenii finally had a spawn and it is HUGE!!! The eggs hatched today unbeknownst to me and I am scrambling to make room for the roughly 10,000 fry!!!!!!!! I have room for maybe 3500 but the others are going to die unless some of you want to take them and try your hand at raising this mighty cool Psuedochromis.

Call me ASAP at Dolphin Pet Village if you are interested.

Arnold,

Its kinda funny because right after you and your friend left I went to the back to harvest BBS and rotifers for all the other fry that is being raised. While the BBS settles, that is when I go and hit all the brood stock tanks with whatever they are going to get fed at that feeding, that is when I saw "The Spawn". At first glance it appeared like there was something wrong with the tank because you would look at the top two inches of the tank (55 gallon) and it was totally cloudy. Upon closer examination it was all fry!!

Needless to say this is really exciting for me because steenii has always been one of my favorite species of Psuedo.

Latest update as of 6 PM :
30-35% have full bellies on just hatched BBS and enriched Rotifers. the fry are surprisingly large, even bigger than Clowns IMHO. I was going to go back to the store 45 mins before the lights go out and feed again. So far roughly 1/2 ounce of BBS and about the same of Rotifers.
