Pictures: FRY ~ Tropheus Black "Kiriza" - 15 to 30 days of age...

These are seven pictures of the *8* Tropheus Black "Kiriza" juveniles that were surviving in my 150-gallon.. I was stripping the tank down bit-by-bit and I wanted to see who was all living in the rock work... and here were these guys. I think I had about 11 at one time but I know I did lose 2-3 of them. I still have one female holding so I may end up with *10* or so!? I don't do anything special, I just let them drop out in the colony. I came back from Toronto on August 23, and found my first two fry! So the age range on these is about 15 to 35 days, varying per fish. Anyway... click the thumbnails to see the fullsize images. Enjoy!

How do you tell the diff. between a male and female..?

Angel Lady: Sorry my dear... I lost a few fish to "Bloat" when I first got my colony, so I am looking to keep these fry to integrate into the colony as they grow.

Beyond that, I am in Canada, and shipping to Kentucky could be cumbersome LOL... but they are not for sale/trade.

The good news is I have 3 more fry since my original post! Tiny little slivers I noticed amongst the rocks today! YAY!

One of my original fry is already 3/4" long! 7 weeks of age and almost one inch long! Holy cow!
