    thanks D, its wierd i just got them a couple of months ago, they paired up and were taking over the tank so i moved them and they spawned the next day, then they got fin rot so i put them in a seperate tank with tetracycline and they spawned the next day, this was the third spawn on the 8th day of the tetracyline dose, so i changed the water and let them be and this is what they came up with. i paid 80 each for the first 2 bd's and 40 each for these two as they were in a very bad state(jet black) and i felt that if i dont buy them i'd be responsible for their deaths,so i did and this is how they repay me, by giving me an extra two month heavy water change routine.

    Heya Samir,

    That's a great story mate ... well done great job on getting these guys back up to scratch. I was going to say they look like (from the pics) a young pair, which is another added bonus Mind if I ask how old they are ? they look around 10-12 months IMO ... judging by the pectral fins.

    Best of luck with them

    Cheers,

    Dee

    i have absolutely no idea.they do have pretty big eyes for their size. i was told about 10 months when i got them but it seems odd for a 12 month old pair to get everything right on just the third attempt and have so many wrigglers. maybe they just have good parenting genes. i would have been happy with 30 fry. so many is going to be a big problem later as i dont have any space.

    Hiya Samir,

    Yeah it can be surprising at times how proficient young pairs can be, I guess it's up to the individual pairs. I have had pairs that take for ever and ever to get a spawn and still dont get it right Then there was my little Albino pair that spawned at 6 months old and produced wrigglers , which didnt attatch But yeah just goes to show ya that all pairs are different in their own way.

    Keep up the good work mate, that's a great number of fry you got there

    Cheers,

    Dee
