Yeah I dont buy a single word of it.

So, if you'd please, leave me alone :) I don't bother you on your posts, so don't bother me on my own.

I picked 5 emperor youngsters that looked like females (green-blue eye vs pure blue, less black, no black in the fins, etc) and moved them to the main tank. Maybe will keep 1 more to make it an even number. I'll be keeping those. The rest will be listed for sale once the rest catch up in size to the largest.

Not best photos as theyre not the most still fish lol

Just updating.

Two attempts failed with the black neons, so taking that as a sign it's not meant to be for now. First spawn the heater malfunctioned and fried the whole tank of fry. Second attempt the female developed dropsy and needed a course of antibiotics to recover. Figured best to leave them be and just enjoy the shoal of 12 I have already.


But my 55g I want more tetras up top, so I've set my skirt tetras to spawn, since I've only got 4 of them and local stock isn't very hardy to buy, so I shall see if home raised babies are hardier and keep a nice group of them for myself, with the 4 skirt adults and my 12 black neons in the same tank.

I did a video showing how I do my spawning setups for deliberate breeding.



Have well over 100 eggs

Of course also had a community spawn of my harlequin rasboras in my 20g, I found 7 eggs in the hornwort, so collected those and theyre in with my tetra eggs as well. Would be neat to see if those make it too.
Can see an egg in the hornwort here, on the string of lettuce root in the gap between the hornwort leaves. Little clear sphere.

I ended up keeping a 6th emperor, after all of the boys sold, there was 1 missed being netted in the tank, so I kept him. So 5 girls and 1 boy kept of the baby emperors. They're growing into young adults now.

A couple young ladies in these photos.

Hoplosternum punctatum fry are still growing, a lot of them are already spoken for as well. I do plan to keep one of them for my own though.

Hoplos are my favs of all you spawns! You know I'm a bottom fish lover but I appreciate your other successes too!
Mine too, such a nice surprise!
The larger ones are way less shy and starting to explore other areas for foods while the smaller ones don't venture far out of their hiding place under a leaf, and even then only looking for food in the sand. It's neat to watch these guys develop.
