    L104's and 168's spawned and Now L066 too :)

    just thought I'd share some photos the other night a few fry got kicked out of my 168's cave (5) and my 104's cave (2)

    popped them into an egg tumbler and they seem to be doing quite well.

    was worried about the 104's they had a funny looking yolk sack, now that the yolks exausted they look fine

    168's are soo tiny even smaller then orange spot fry

    Hi Jothy

    Yes, will you be selling fry? Do these get much bigger than peppermints?

    LOL yes i'll be selling fry but these guys are alittle diffrent to bristlenoses, 168's are omnivours that get to about 18cm in length, they can get a little agro to each other and other fish, 104's dont get bigger then 10cm, eat wood and not much else, and poo like you wouldn't believe.

    both species are almost strictly nocturnal I'm installing moonlights so i get to see them, as soon as i have decent numbers of fry they be sold here to DF members only

    but dont hold your breath, neither species is "easy" to spawn, still you never know.
