Blue Diamond Fry are swimming!

I'm going to say only this. . . .

YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

 

Great stuff!

 

congrats!!!!

 

Excellent! Happy dance...

:dancing2:

 

At long last

 

@Laracroft

Lets not be unfair...they are still very young, and this is only their 3rd attempt! Shame they are still in a complete state of panic with the little guys around them. I just hope they dont get stressed too much by it and decide to have a 'light lunch'. . .

 

Congrats Marco.

What are you feeding the parents?

 

Yippppiiiiiiii!!!!!

 

@Go-Big

Feed the parents? Gosh I didnt know I was suppose to feed them!
JUST YANKING YOUR CHAIN!

I feed Beefheart, flakes, brine shrimp, TetraPrima, bloodworm, mozzie larvae, prawn. Yeh, thats about it!

I cant tell you guys how happy I am about these!
@Altum - Bud, again, thanx for these GREAT fish! They are soooo awesome and not one person has seen them and not drooled! And now they are parents! (I hope they dont change that Titel anytime soon). . .

 

@Marco, where do you get the prawn from?

 

Cape Town Fish Market make the best prawn.

(Sorry- couldn't resist!)

 

Oh... fabulous!!! Hope all continues well, crossing all available digits!

 

@Laracroft

I wrote prawns. . . Apologies, I meant PLANKTON! Plankton mix that I got from Dirk. I think I'm in the mood to celebrate so I think "Prawn. . .champagne. . ."

 

I'll join you in at that one. Hey I sent you an email with some photo's did you get it?

 

Eeeuw waterkakkerlak and champagne

 

Great looking pair you have there!
Congratulations.

 

Just a quick update.

Mommy blue diamond went into a complete 'hissy-fit'! Attacking the male, her shadow, her reflection and even me when I feed them. This resulted in the death of 5 to 10 fry, and so the Judge in court awarded sole custody of the young to Mr. Blue diamond. (Mrs. BD has been enrolled in a compulsory anger management course)

So now dad is doing it all, and he is doing ok. . . Some fry keep straying but imagine having to look after 60 odd babies all by yourself. I hope and believe he will manage.
Its day 2 and they are still there, alive and eating!

'Judge' Marco

 

Probably just a case of the baby 'blues'. Difference between humans and fish - fish get to eat their young

 

Just KEEP TELLING me
how HAPPY you are with those fish...hehe
It's only a pleasure...BTW your Blue Diamond SnakeSkin will be sent to you mid next week, and , maybe the first of your Classic Brown....
Isaid by 3rd you'd have fry, nd Male is gonna be fine with frycare solo.
Female is same size, or smaller than male..?
I recall she was about to OUTGROW him.

 

@Altum

The female has actually outgrown the male. I put her along with other females in a tank for about a month, and just "fed and water change" the tank. It helped as she must have grown a cm in that time. He will catch up and overtake soon though, I'm sure of it. He is big but has not reached that "full chest" look you get in grown fish, so I'm sure he has at least two centimeters in him still.

Cant wait for browns!!!!!
