Re: Whoo Hoo! Rotpuct Fry!!
Congrats!!!
Hope they all survive!!! They are really nice!!
If you can take more pictures of them (the fry), I'd be gratefull!!
I had a spawn a few months back, and had to move. I siphonned out "all" the
fry, and they died in the process of moving....
But, in that same tank, my girlfriend had some baby molly in there, and she
scooped them up, along with 2 other fry, which are cichlids, but unknown to
us!!! Too small to ID them yet, but there are a few odd markings! Those 2
fry might be rotpunkt, and would have survived about 5 or 6 hours in some
wet gravel, maybe half an inch of water at the most above the gravel!!! :)

I noticed one of my rotpuct females has been kinda yellow as of late, and
today I found out why.
I saw her and about 20 free swimming fry today while I was doing my noon
feeding. The fry are pretty big,
so I suspect that they may be a week old. IThey may have been living off
the introfusia (sp?) that
has gathered in several bushy live plants that I have in the tank. Today,
I fed the tank with vinigar
eels, and I am going to pick up a piece of rigid tubing to be able to
target feed a little better.
I have a somewhat poor picture of one of the fry on my website at
home.bak.rr.com/alansfishroom .
I hope to have some better pictures up soon!
