My J. Marleri Bred

[TheFanatic]

Looks like the pair of J. Marleri I bought a month ago are a pair. I have three babies that I can see. I wish I would've known. I just rearranged that side of the tank yesterday and I'm willing to bet the parents couldn't take care of all the fry in a tank full of Africans, Synos and some Clown Loaches.

These pics suck. I put in this huge piece of Granite that is flat like a piece of slate. Something a cousin brought back from a fishing trip for me years ago. the granite shades the caves the parents are using. I have circled the fry in MSPaint. Here are the parents and the fry

Awesome! I love julies, so easy to breed! And the babies are sooo cute! Congrats!

cool

How big are they?

The parents or the fry? The parents are about 2.5 inches. They are pretty good size for Julies. The fry are about .25 inches.

Oh, and I noticed a 4th fry last night....Maybe I have more...

Quite possible they are still hiding.

I think you have transcriptus, not marleri. Marleri have a bar under the eye (all of them) and yours don't. Also marleri are larger. Transcriptus are cool little fish. All julis tend to have small spawns and will spawn frequently. They are good parents and most of the fry ill live if you leave them in the tank. Even with your other fish.
