I found fry in the main tank! I was swishing around the java moss and I saw a fry cling to the glass . Hunting time!

Seeing I have fry already, they must have bred a few days before :O.

The eggs hatched! Either yesterday when I was at the inauguration or today.. Having to stay up since 4 AM till midday I was knocked out so I was unable to check out the CPD tank.

They just hatched so not freeswimming yet, and because I do not have an uberleet camera to take pictures of I am borrowing them from this site.( http://www.danios.info/fish/margaritatus.aspx) And this is what they look like currently:

They do not swim to move much UNLESS you move em yourself by moving a net towards them or a siphon, but they just cling to the glass.

And now my Fry Sorter :S.

Cool! And here I thought my guppy fry were tiny..

 

[newportjon]

Very cool.

I'm looking forward to watching their progression.

Cool! If you don't have microworms, consider getting a culture. The fry love them! If fed well, they'll grow fast and start to color up at about 8 weeks.

Update:

The CPD's recently spawned yesterday and collected around 10 eggs, I think that only 1 or 2 females mated and missed a bunch of eggs.

But for now here is a picture of the tank with the new anubias barteri, nana, and windelov fern.
