F1 Manacaparu Redback angels with eggs & now FRY!

UPDATE!!!!

Pair 2 have spawned again this time well over 200 eggs!

I've pulled the eggs and they are now in a hatching tank, hopefully they're fertile.

nice one mate

Well done Jothy. But you know we need to see photos. As they say, 'it didn't really happen unless you've got the photos' :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

How about doing a week by week photo shoot of these babies. I love to see them sprout their 'wings'.

LOL point takem Merrilyn,

latest batch of eggs were infertile, will have to try again next time looks like from the 10 fish i have 3 pairs. will make sure I have week by week pics once i get some fertile eggs.

Still a little worried, none of the adults ahve developed any real red on their heads or shoulders, at best I guss the fry will look like nice silvers.

after a few months these little guys are staring to take shape.

Introducing my F2 Manacaparu now 20c-50c size

do you knw why the eggs where infertile? thats weird that 2 pairs would be infertile

good work

joel.

wasnt the pairs, it was the water, moving the eggs to a tank filled with rainwater fixed the issue. still had ~20% infertile, but after removing these and hatching in meth blue I havn't had anyother issues.

I guess the GH of prospect was just not right for Manacaparu egg development and hatching.

after a water change and a bit of frozen brine shrimp it appears that 2 of my red backs are pairing up, judging by the territory they've chosen i won't be able to remove the eggs but i'll let you know if anything eventuates

seems like one of the smaller peruvian angels isnt happy about it but he's standing his ground :P

Hey jothy,
How's everything? hope everything is good on your end!
