Hello..... Is there anybody out there......?? Wow, either im not getting many postings or this list has gone really quiet lately..... Hope all is well with everyone.. Things here in the Thawing Tundra... yes there's still some snow left around..... not alot but some.... well, things are good... I've actually had some really nice spawns lately.. One of my pairs of MacMasteri Rednecks are really pumping out the fry.... Swear to God , they think they are Convicts.... I think i finally have a fertile spawn of Atahualpa. One of my females in the group of 1 male, 5 females spawned with the male 2 days ago and they are BOTH guarding the flower pot... i had to look to see what was in there, and Voila!!!! Bright red eggs.... about 30+ of them too.... Im very happy..... This has all happened with way too many tankmates too. The 55 that houses my Atahualpa has 7 Cardinal tetras, 7 glowlight tetras, pair of Betta Splendens and breeding group of Betta Edithae. Yes breeding group of Edithae.... I know i asked around for anyone with male edithaes because i was sure i had all females.. well i was wrong.... yes that happens..... I actually watched the Edithae spawn.... was really cool too..... female spit the eggs to the male after gathering them up while falling in mid water... Anyways...... Im happy now.... Gonna have Atahualpa fry soon and Betta Edithae fry soon too.....unfortunately for the Atahualpa, once i have free swimming fry about 3 weeks old, im gonna offer the group up to someone for something different... OH OH OH>...i forgot to mention..... really nicely planted tanks help hide fry...... one of my other 55 gallon tanks, that house my sp Maulbruter, which has lots of plants in there, i found a whole bunch of about month old fry swimming with one of the females along with around 6 fry that have to be close to an inch long..... well juvies i would call them. See what happens when you cant see in the tank.... $#!% happens..... lol Well enough ramblings..... Ciao..
