Holding Yellow Lab

[kribensis12]

Here is a video of my female lab, who is holding. There are also some shots of the fry from another lab, and some angels and pleco's in the tank. I am probably stripping the female today, as if she spits in there, I am afraid she will eat her fry, or the larger ones in there.

You mixed Angels with Yellow Labs...?

It is a grow out tank. The labs are bottom dweller and the angels are not. There have been no problems.

Cool. Congrats on the breeding.

Thanks! I stripped her today, 26 fry. And this is the first time she has bred!

Nice tank not bad.

Thanks! I am working on a video. But the fry are hard to see . They are grey. With tiny hints of black on their fins. I'm sure the yellow color will start developing in a week or so.

Okay, I finally have them on video ( I had to put them in a goldfish bowl for their cameo appearance ). The first video is of the fry now. The second video is of some fry that I striped from a female an hour ago.






I hope you guys enjoy!

No one?

Very cool. What are your plans for them? What are you feeding them?

Once they hit a little over an inch I plan on selling them. I have 9 that are over an inch that I am selling at an auction on the 17th of Oct. I am feeding them some fry food called " excellent fry food " it's a home made fry powder from a local aquarist. I also try to get some frozen daphnia in them. I plan on putting up a video of the inch long ones soon. They are incrediably robust.

Sorry about not having any updates. But here is a video of them, about 2 and a half months later:
