Fish Fanatic
As some of you may know i picked up a cheap tank to house my fry, and after some debate, i decided to use the tank for my original purpose instead of going and getting some more fish. I split mum and dad Rainbow from their babies and spent about an hour catching the young. There is quite a few to say the least!
Rescaped the rainbows tank, washed the gravel, cleaned the glass and decor. It was filthy due to me not touching it whilst they were spawning and raising their young through fear of them eating them. I must admit, Rainbow Cichlids are excellent parents, really impressed with them and their behaviour towards them. They have lost their dark colouration, the male has gone bright orange and the female is almost grey. Hopefully they will settle back in again within a couple of days.
No idea how many babies there is, but i would say somewhere in the region of 150-200.
Here's a quick picture of them in the jug... excuse the leaves etc. lol.
And here is their new home for the next few months...
Let me know what you think
Awesome Congrats on the new lil ones..
The tank looks great they'll love it
