Red Empress with Juvie males

So, it has been a while since I last bred Red Empress, and I was wanting to start a breeding group again. Actually picked up some fry to deversify my strain from KMX yesterday afternoon. I have about 5 juvie males (<2"), or at least I believe they are all males, from the last grow out group that I had. I also have one 2.75" male (male - according to his fins and he was the dominant fish of about 20), which I purchased at Rift 2 Reef. I only kept one female from a breeding group I used to have, and she is 4.5". I was getting anxious to see some color and introduced her to the goup of 6. I was watching her tonight, as I haven't had the normal observation time lately, and noticed she was chomping her lips a bit. I netted her after lights out tonight and held her so I could get a good look into her mouth, and sure 'nough nice tan eggs just starting to show white tips... I have never had such a small male breed with a female. They aren't even showing color yet. This is a weird first for me, feeling confused... I just recently bred albino OB's and now this. Thought I would share.

Nice.

I hope all works out for you. If you need anymore just let me know.

Good luck with the breeding!Those OB fry you gave me are doing great and are very aggressive with each other I'm going to have to put them in seperate tanks.
