Some new babies

[mattgoanna]

Came home tonight to this

[jimstreet]

Fantastic!

I came home to a sick fish, see my other post.

[Mavzta]

Isn't that a great sight? Congrats.
Are they blue turqs?

[mattgoanna]

I believe the male is a Heckel cross and the female is a German turq given the strong halo.

Update of how they are going

[jimstreet]

They must be good parents.

What are you plans for them?

[Mavzta]

Awesome!!!

[mattgoanna]

No idea what I will do with them. I don't have space for them long term, so will probably need to find some willing volunteers.

[jimstreet]

Puts hand up :)

[Mavzta]

I may have to also. What side of town are you from Matt?

[Nathan]

Amazing job! looking forward to seeing these guys grow up

[mattgoanna]

I will give them a few weeks and then let them go. I am in the north east of Melbourne.

[Nathan]

yeah definitely don't move them until they are quite a bit older, id wait at least a month maybe longer if you can before moving them on. keep us updated, was this their first spawn? If so the parents did an amazing job, usually takes a few spawns before they get it right

[mattgoanna]

Update: babies started die, so moved them to isolation tank. Hard to say why, but not unusual for this to happen at this age.

Sorry to hear that, good luck with the remaining fish.
