Well... they are all pretty much gone.... Moved about90% to a small tank, and now have two left.

All within18 hours of the move. No biggy.... I'll have to get a better setup for the Rams and we'll see how they do in the future.

Not too sure at this point. Had air, had heater, and was doing changes with main tanks water, after doing partials each time on main tank.

I need to get the 20L I was writing you about. -especially now that I have a surprise female.

The only thing I can notice different about her is a different coloring on her snout- from the upper lip to over her eyes... THe males seem to be more bland,a nd shes more of a flesh tone.... no pink, no pink belly.

When you added them in the parent tank water, did you have a seeded sponge filter or external filter going in it? Because, without the good bacteria working on the parent tank water, the ammonia levels would rise quickly...

They will spawn again, and again... you get the point. Each time they'll get better and better with it. Don't worry, there will be more chances.

On another note. I have about 75 -100 juvies left. I've sold a total of 150 or so of this batch and still have that many left! If you are getting a grow out tank and really plan to raise the fry, you'll need a bigger tank than a 20. Mine are now in a 50g long and a 20g long. They are still over crowded and I am doing 50% water changes every couple of days...
