Simpsonichthys Santanae 'ribeirao De Santana'

[Amerce]

Well I was given these eggs and quite truthfully I honestly thought I'd lost all of them so I just tipped the peat into a small tank and left it, no heat no filter and then I spotted movement a month ago and snagged 3 fry from the tank, put them into a my dwarf cory tank and hoped for the best. As I'd not seen them for a while I thought I'd lost them but it turns out I have 2 males (pics below) and a female.

Beautiful little South Americian annual there Amerce. Nice pics. Lady Luck was shining on you, now at least you have something to go on.

I know, I really shouldn't have been so lucky as I wasn't very careful with them but hopefully I'll get another generation to go on with or if I spot some more I may get them to widen the gene pool. The largest male is a beautiful colour already and he is only about 2.5 months old !!!
