Nice I cant wait to see the pics. What are you going to grow the fry out in? If they look good you could probably make some good maney selling the fry.

The parents don't usually eat their young with this species do they? Maybe Fishboy916 has some other fish in with them? Fishboy916, how do you ship your fish so they arrive alive and healthy? I've only had fish shipped to me once and they came from petsolutions.com - seems getting the right air in the bag and clamping it tight enough would be the problem. You ship overnight I assume? Have you shipped them before and if so, could we know who you shipped them to so they can tell us how they arrived? Sorry for the skepticism, I've just never done this from an individual before...
Anxious to hear about your breeding pair and what size tank, and who's in the tank with them.
