During the winter Linda ordered some Tangerine Lyretail Molly from the not so LFS. They a couple dozen that were way to small to sex so she purchased 10 of them Over time she reduced the lot till it was 3 female and a male, what she thought was best of. Last night she was rewarded with a swarm. This morning, I put moved them to the 10QT tank -- the fate of every QT we ever cycled. I do not know where Linda is "hiding" the camera, and she is currently at the orphan pet place doing volunteer work. (First time since surgery, a good sign that my housework days will soon diminish I will add). When she gets home, I will load some photos of the litter critters.

The second picture shows how they are beginning to get the color now. I do understand they may change color as they grow. Linda does not accept that. She says she bred male a female tangerine and expects them to grow true. We will see.

She has lost only one thus far. There are about 48 of the fry and the LFS has already claimed them when they are old enough.
