White Cloud Fry

I know that this is an easy fish to spawn, but this is my first batch of White Cloud fry. I am excited, always a joy when you have a different species breed. Please don't think that I am ridiculous getting happy for this species, but always read how simple they are to spawn, now I know for myself. Any advice from the guys on the forum on the result if I had to move the breeding shoal into one of my ponds outside.

Will try and post some pictures, but don't know if I can capture them as I don't have a macro lens.

Regards Shaun

 

Really cool. Good job.

 

Its always cool
When fish spawn

 

Thanks guys. I have bred angels, gouramis, bettas, corydoras, discus, livebearers, cichlids of all sorts in the past but it is always exciting for something new.

 

Pics or it didnt happen
The new phones have a macro setting, provided the light is good you could use one?

 

they will do great outside, they survive cape town in winter so kzn wont be a problem at all

 

congrats on the spawn! def one of my favourite smaller species

 

Okay this is the first time I am posting a picture, so lets hope I get it right. Used my Nikon with the standard 18-55mm lens. You can see them at least. Now to invest in a good lens.
Hi Mattie, thanks for that information, Do the ones you have in the pond spawn during the spring and summer months only? What filtration are you using for them, so that the eggs and fry don't get sucked up by a powerful pond filter.

No filter, only plants and yes, they only spawn during the warmer months

 

Thanks again Mattie, will try it out
