Hi all,
Thought it would be a good idea to share my progress of my Firemouths and their fry. This is my first batch of fry from them, and all is going well so far! :good:
You may have seen a Firemouth loitering the homepage :look: , that is the farther of the fry.

The eggs were layed about a week and half ago, couldnt get any pictures as they had layed inside a flowerpot. :fun:
Here are the fry after I took them away from the parents, and just as they started to swim. :lol:

Make sure you keep up the water changes and they will romp on!

I used a length of airline tubing, and just syphoned them out when hey were wrigglers. :good: Good Luck!

I am unsure about posting and the price at the moment, but when they are a decent size I will pm you.

Just a quick update! Fry are doing great,had a few of the smaller ones die off, but not too upset from that as it means I will have a better quality stock at the end. All feeding well on flake now. :D
