Oh man! How much did I miss over the holidays! haha

MM, your babies are always so cute! It's nice to be able to see the pictures. I love the little guy or gal in the last one. Such a cute expression!

How many fry have survived do you think to this point?

Martinismommy · January 25th, 2009

I have only found 4 dead ones so I'm going to guess 100 plus are still alive at week 3....A little overwhelming for sure...I'm going to have to move them to the 25 gallon grow out tank soon because of the volume of fry....

Here they are at 3 weeks old...And yes Shawnie, the ARE Chubettas! lol

Karen, they're sooo cute! I'd love to see your house with all the grow out tanks.

Martinismommy · January 25th, 2009

Thank you! This is a beautiful spawn....I can't wait for them to come into adulthood!

Martinismommy · January 25th, 2009

Thank you Lucy, it's quite a sight to see for sure lol....

agabr123 · January 25th, 2009

i may just have to start making room for more......

Martinismommy · January 25th, 2009

Thank you Agarb....Here's a picture of someone you might want to see as a wee little fry ...This is one of my Copper babies ....

agabr123 · January 25th, 2009

aww! he/she has the cutest face! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for pics as they grow up!

Martinismommy · January 25th, 2009

They are already grown up....This is the Coppers we have been talking about....

Martinismommy · January 31st, 2009

The babies are approaching 1 month old.....Things have gone much better than I could have dreamed of...They are healthy little buggars...I still have almost all of the original spawn alive! They are showing beautiful MG coloring at a very young age....They are eating me out of house and home right now lol....

Here is one of the little guys at 4 weeks...

Martinismommy · January 31st, 2009

Can anyone count them? lol...

pinkfloydpuffer · January 31st, 2009

Holy cow! There's a billion!

agabr123 · January 31st, 2009

Red1313 · February 5th, 2009

I can't wait to see them all grown up!

kittenface14 · February 5th, 2009

That is really awesome stuff...tks for sharing!

cognizant · February 7th, 2009

Great pictures. Great explanations. Great job. I can't wait for some more updates on the babies and some more pictures as they age. This is a very enlightening blog/thread and you did a wonderful job with everything.

Martinismommy · February 8th, 2009

I moved the 1 month old babies to the toddler grow out tank yesterday...Wow, what a lot of work that was lol......There are 100's still alive! I have never seen a spawn this size at this age before.....Not sure what I did differently if anything to make them all live this long...

Here are a few of the cuties...They are coloring up nicely...Some are the deep orange/aqua like Daddy and others look more like Mommy.....

agabr123 · February 8th, 2009

they're gorgeous MM!!!! i'm going to have to make room.........i need more surface space in here!

cognizant · February 8th, 2009

They are absolutely beautiful! What do you do with all of them?

capekate · February 10th, 2009

awwww they are sooooo cute! Im starting to lean towards a male as well as a female if the male will look like its daddy Maui!

Martinismommy · February 14th, 2009

The kids are 6 weeks old now and things are going fantastic! They are all good eaters and are all still alive (which is amazing to me) They are really coloring up and it looks like I have several different shades of Mustard Gas ranging from powder blue to dark turquoise....

Here is a video of them in their 25 gallon gow out tank....

capekate · February 14th, 2009

awww what teeny tiny babies...

they are sooo sweet!
Any starting to look like the mustard Gas with the gold/orange/copper coloring yet of the MG?

Martinismommy · February 14th, 2009

Yes Kate, they all have the MG coloring..

Martinismommy · February 20th, 2009

The kids are coloring up just beautiful at week 7...I moved 4 of the largest males into the 55 grow out tank...They are eating me out of house and home! lol...This spawn seems to be maturing at a very fast rate in comparassion to my others in the past...

Here are 2 of them at 7 weeks...The white boy is aqua/white/orange...The other boy is metallic aqua with orange MG coloring...

agabr123 · February 20th, 2009
