Found rummynose fry

[Zante]

Pity they'll have to die, since the tank has been drained and will be packed when dry, but at least it explains why my rummynoses aren't dead of old age.
Now I can say that every species in that tanks bred successfully.

I wonder how many were sucked up and flushed while I was draining the tank...

Thats amazing Zante. Had my 15 for about 16 months now and never seen anything that resembles spawning behaviour. How do you know these fry are rummies? Any pics?

 

[Zante]

Quite simply I have had for several weeks in that tank only six rummynoses.
The fry can't be more than a week or two old.

I'll try and get pics, but I can't promise anything. They are in the return well of the tank and even with the lights on they are hard to see. I would have never spotted them if I wasn't shining a torch in there to check on the heater and even then only because they moved.

Happy days I am actually quite excited for you/? How come you are shutting down? are you moving? Still keeping discus?

 

[Zante]

I am indeed moving, out of London and to Florence.
(Well, near Florence, I couldn't afford actual Florence)

At the moment I am keeping a yellow wrasse and two clownfish, but not for long since those are going too.
Once I'm done the only stock I'll have will be live rock.

... then I have plans for the new place. Oh yes... I have plans...

MUAHAHAHAHA


... and yes, they will involve discus
