First attempt at rearing fry

[temper76]

Im in west new york nj.

 

[_shorty_]

Why?

Sorry.. I wasn't trying to be rude. Just trying to be respectful to the op. It sounded like you had a lot of specific questions not directly related to the ops thread, so it was just a friendly suggestion. I've found sometimes people don't respond to questions if it's off topic.

My c-quest male

That's a nice male. I like how crisp the black is on it.

Im in west new york nj.

you're not far at all.

Your pair is nice , the male that jump were did u originally got it from? Has alot of black.
Just a few days my doni's snowcasso & c- quest onyx picasso drop their first nest they are both new at this .my male is like 2yrs my snowcasso like 4 years almost

I bought the pair of platinum back in 2009 and did not ask the seller for lineage.

How about the Picasso whats his lineage?

I got him from alpha aquacultures

 

[temper76]

My friend used to sell to him , he also get his stuff from sA did you remember if the breeder was calypso or jca?

 

[jf2381]

I don't remember. I got him a couple of years ago.

Is it normal for these guys to spend a lot of time hiding?
They only come out from behind the sponge filter when I feed them.

 

[temper76]

Are they hiding near were they lay? If so it is normal .I have a pair of Picasso in a 8g 1 flower pot had them for 18 month now .they never leave the pot .the go 5" away from the pot then they shot back like as if someone is going to take it from them and they do that only to go out for food

I was talking about the fry.

[temper76]

Any updates ? Pics? Very interesting to see hows everything is going for you

 

[jf2381]

The fry are now starting to look more orange. I will try to snap some pics tomorrow when I get back home. I might get a better shot with the under water camera.

Nice pair ! I would let them spawn a few times and first and foremost get the rotifers down to a T , and I feed my pair a lot of Protein and have noticed they lay more eggs when I do .

 

[jf2381]

I tried to take some more shots but it's hard. It looks like 25 made it to day 7 out of 40 I caught from the second batch.

The parents spawned again. But I'm not catching this batch because I will be away during hatch night. They laid a few eggs on the tile so I'm hoping that eventually they will lay all of the eggs on the tile.

I started my second culture. So I will have two running.

 

[jf2381]

Here is the best I could do. This is probably the bigger of the two survivors of the first batch.


Here is the month with the next most recent batch.

 

[temper76]

Nice hopefully you start seen markings at 30 days past hatch

 

[jf2381]
