OT: What I have been breeding lately

[Tomoko Schum]

Hi y'all,

Lately I am working with Blue Eye Rainbowfish (Pseudomugil gertrudae).

Here's a picture of an adult fish:

Here's a movie of a mature egg that I took under microscope. It is ready to hatch. As a matter of fact, the egg hatched shortly after taking this video.

Thanks, RUGDOG.

P. gertrudae is beautiful little fish. The adult is about the size of a neon tetra and very active. It's been fun wokring with this fish. I've got quite a few fry now in various sizes now.

Are you going to be selling any?

 

[Tomoko Schum]

I probably will in a few months when the little guys grow to a sellable size.

Thank you, guys. These babies are just like Clownfish babies but seem to grow a lot faster.
