Albino Melon Intermediate Pair

Just wondering Matt, have these guys laid eggs for you yet?

Mate would you believe they are BOTH females....

I was absolutely devastated when I watched them BOTH lay eggs together in the comm tank.
BUT I've actually paired one of them up with a new Albino male I bought and they laided there first batch together earlier in the week. They were supposed to get jiggy with each other first and then I was going to move them to a small 2fter but she laided within 3 days of being with the Ablino.

I've attached three pics. You can see in the last pic that some have dark markings and the others are clear coloured. So the ratio for Albino/Albino Red Melon is about 50/50 and there's at least 150 which hatched. Fingers crossed they all survive....

The other female is still in the com tank and lays once a week. I'm thinking once these guys get established, i'll move the male to the smaller 2fter tank and let him breed with her. So far he's been great support so I haven't seen any real need to move him away just yet.
