About two weeks ago my pandas spawned for the first time....I've had them for about 2 years now....

I managed to find 7 eggs and put them in a hang on isolation tank with an airstone. After a couple of days I could see that two of the eggs were darkening, but the rest stayed white. After 5 days the two dark ones hatched...I waited a few days for the others, but they apparently were infertile. I carefully removed the decorations from the tank after the 5 days, to see if I could find any fry in the tank that I might have missed...I found one....so, I now have 3 little panda fry.

Managed to get a pic of one of them.....they are awfully cute and even after only a week I can see little whiskers on these guys....

Anyway, just wanted to share....I moved the fry into a 2.5 gallon "nursery" tank I have. It has about 9 very small guppy fry in it at present and is planted with a little nano hob filter on it. So far they all seem to be doing very well !

A pic of the tank....

they are my favorites when it comes to babies, hehehe..... it's great that you got to see them when they are so young. It's quite amazing how soon they look like mini-adults.

I have no idea.....lol.....it took them about 2 years to get around to it, but maybe now that they have...perhaps they'll produce regularly....

Or not... :huh:
