New Fry

My Fulu's finally spit the baby's out, after waiting 2 half weeks I finally get to see the little ones.. It is like being a new mommy all over again..

NICE! Congrats

I was so excited I started yelling I have babies. My neighbors upstairs must have thought I was crazy.!!!

Okay so I have two females that spit today. Still have the male and another female in the tank. Which is a 55 gallon bow front. do I need to move the male and non pregnant female out of the tank?? can I just leave them all in there?

I wouldnt change anything. They seem to be doing fine as is. If you want to keep breeding them then you might want to add more of the same to the group...like 2 males 6-7 females. I would not put then by themselves ..the male might get mad at the female bc she wont breed right away again and kill her.

Pics soon?

I will brake out the camarea and wait for a good shot. One female is hiding behind a rock I can only see her every now and again. But the other has taken up nursery room right behind the square pot perfect wide open corner of the tank.

Me personally, I always remove the female before she spits. This way I can keep track of all fry without trying to catch them(or their dad eating them). The man will still bug the hell out of holding females trying to spawn too. Females are wake from holding and not eating for weeks so they need a stressless environment, so they can get back to 100%.

This is how I do all my females once I notice their holding.

Thanks yall.. You guys were the first I wanted to share with.. I new you would understand my excitement and not think I was crazy about being so giddy.

you rigth nitty so you need 3 aquariums
1 breeding
2 fry
3 females (after 2 weeks you can put back in number 1)

let see them pictures

congrats

how do you know if your female is holding???

her throat will buldge out and she wont eat.

well i did about a 20% water change and moved some decorations around and now one of my convicts have laid eggs so im hoping the other pair i have will do the same.... how long after the eggs have been there will they hatch or spawn? should i take the eggs out so i dont lose all my fry again?
