Here they are my first spawn there are 9 of them, but 1 has done the great escape and made it into the main tank and now i can't find it, think i will just leave it to see if the theory is correct that it will grow faster.

Cheers Shell - they are cute aint they, i still think im in shock i dont believe i have fry.
I feed them on tetra liquifry and tetraprima (mini granuals) not sure how old /size they need to be before i can try mysis & shrimp etc??
There seems to have been a few spawns recently perhaps this is high season for them or something

Dont worry Neo if i was to ever sell them i would advertise here first, although by then you will probs have some fry of your own.
Shell they are now just over 2weeks old.

congrats Jo! They're
beautiful!
Now.. when it comes to selling... I was gonna do that... but I never get around to it, I don't want to, they're my babies!
I didn't think I would be like that
Anyone wants to buy Angel frys? 200+? Cheap! Anytime!
(but I think I'll keep my Zebra babies
)

I still haven't seen houdini since the great escape from the breeding trap. Do you think he/she will be ok in the main tank and is just hiding??

I'll back up the hiding plec comments...
Our 5 new little plecs (whatever they may be) have their own 2ft tank but I can sit an look for them for 30mins and only find 3... I started moving rocks and searching properly once and they are all in there - just hiding well

Congrats Jo.
I hope you find the escapee, I'm sure it will be ok in the main tank.
Nice healthy looking babies, good luck with raising them.
Regards.

Well done!
He'll be fine I'm sure!
I'm saying that not with any knowledge but with hope that the same applies to mine!
