looking pretty good atm. I'd say around 350 plus. lets see how many survive, the male is finally confirmed (his tube is thick like a female).

Looking good mate. But you do have better choice of male to cross with her mate. So after all those photos, they did make you want to breed again..hahahah

what do you recommend ?? my leopards are all the same so I don't have many options. do you think something with less spots like the pic from Xtreme ? or am I losing the plot again ? Ah yes the pics helped :lol: :lol: but I'm still scared of all the hard work to come.
they have all hatched, I'd say around 300-400 wrigglers. not bad from 50-100 i was getting before :lol:

Don't you have a 9 bars small spotted one. The one from Ex. look like better but you may get some pigeon that come along.
As for W/C , Why not try with a hang on & 10% per day.
Feeding- Frozen baby brime mix fry dry food as soon as possible. Then an automatic fish feeder, you know the eheim 4 time auto per day..once they on their own tank....

I put these guys in the red melon tank, they're not a pair so lets see what happens, looks positive atm
the other pair is doing fine, fry attached yesterday. I put the filter back in and started feeding them today.

hopefully, I'd like to grow out the best from these and from the leopards. There's too many fry and the parents are already getting a bit overwhelmed. I've started turning the lights off at night so they can get a break. I think one more batch with the albino and that should be more than I can handle.

I'm positive I'll get at least some very round fish, not sure about the pattern. they're all grade A fish so they'd better give me something nice.
