Yah My Albinos Have Spawned!

[stubert]

my new eggs are hatching, interesting to see how much my current ones have grown

I hope my corys spawn again soon. But I don't have the money to buy anymore corys, and right now I only have a pair. Just waiting for the fry to grow a little bigger so I can add them with their parents.

How old are your fry now?

been moving them into the new tank today...bloody night mare i tell yee. Had to cut my pipette a bit so they didnt get squashed and half the time they swim out before i can turn it upright to put them into the bag got a fair few transfered now tho, found some dead ones while rooting around in the tank aswell

Well done on the moving to larger tank i find a turkey baster a god send when moving fry,especially at the moment has i keep sucking them up doing their daily w/c

Did you manage to do a count up?

Sorry to hear you lost a few,its still sad when it happens

we do have a turkey baster around i havent found it yet tho, need to ask my mum dunno if she will like the idea of me sucking up fish with it though been using the one i got with my whitespot treatment, just cut the end so its a bit bigger so as not to hurt them

ergh, no i didnt dunno why but ive done around 30-40 so far i think, with plenty more in the tank, so im looking at around 100 from this first batch

Around 3 weeks. They are growing steadily, though I do have one runt.

Aww bless glad they're doing well
I've got one tri thats a runt with a stumpy tail,but it doesn't stop him getting around

Well update on the albinos...they've spawned yet again this time in the main tank,i was just going off to work this morning and i spotted her laying eggs on the glass,2 seconds later the male ate them ,anyway i left them to it,when i got home,there was spots where the eggs had been,anyway i did manage to find around 20 eggs in one corner,these are now in a net...

I had one with a really kinky tail, but unfortunately it passed on.
I'm actually planning on moving them in with the adults soon... They are huge!

And congrats on the new spawn! Yay!

Take them off with a razor blade VERY slowly and transfer them to a mature tank to hatch.
