My not fancy breakfast ;) Warm Spoon Bread with maple syrup.

They are eating Sera mini growth food, too. But I try to keep them stocked in BBS.

Thanks. They seem to be liking it. And they are so much easier to see in a regular rectangular tank. These grew faster than my Platy fry.

Noooo... ;) It's one of those small containers you hang on the outside of an aquarium. I put the fry in it while I moved the substrate and last of the water over. Then I acclimated them a little bit by adding some of the new aquarium water into the container. I still need to add some more...

Moving day.

Here they are. Mama has pretty much found her spot now. Excuse the lighting. My dogs were too into laying stretched out where the sunlight came in. I didn't want to close the curtain on them :)

Thank you for asking :) I just looked and counted four fry. I've been seeing 5-6 hanging out with mom. And when she swims elsewhere, they hide amongst the wood. There could be more, but that is what I am seeing. Just a small number from what I used to see. Even when mom swims to eat the other...

They seem to be tolerating me more. I was able to get two videos today. Here is the one I just took when feeding. If you look at about 50 seconds in you'll see the little guy scooting off to the right. I don't know why he is so much smaller than the rest... is it possible I siphoned up an egg...

Well, I could... but my link would probably be removed. They frown upon outside links here. And I could not find them anymore, so who knows if the seller is still in business or moved from Etsy to Ebay or what? You'll have to do what I'm going to do, search the words to see if something pops up...

If you have any up there let me know. I just looked to order more and they are unavailable :( Just the wide fan type or the really large ones are available. But I ran into these other really cool looking dried grasses while looking :)

Thank you. I bought them off Etsy. I'm not sure if you have that up North. They were called Dried Pygmy Palm Branches and the description says they were not treated with anything. I use them for laying across the perimeter, too. As a sort of lid/barrier for the jumpers.

I took another video of this tank today. Before I added a few more stones to it and neatened up those three being used for ballast. What I found interesting was seeing this video on youtube yesterday. Aside from the stocking and length/size of the tank, it sure bears an uncanny resemblance...

Some people need Winter to end.

You know how you were always told "to go" before the start of a car trip? :D

OK, there's about a dozen in there. And one is a tiny little fellow. Not sure what is holding him back compared to the rest. I was finally able to get some pics just now without them all scurrying away. Fuzzy, but it was the best I could do. I deleted half of them because I couldn't even see...

I took some pictures earlier today, I'll see if any came out and post them in the Agassizii thread, but I think I have at least half a dozen that seem to be doing fine. I'm hoping more. They're pretty skittish still, especially when I move the camera close. And of course they hang out mostly on...

As I mentioned yesterday, I have more fry. This is a different tank with two Apistogramma Cacatuoides in it. It looks like she moved what she could under this leaf. The other video showed her on the other side of the tank yesterday. We'll see how they do. I don't have any intention of moving them.

Look who I just happened to see! :) :) :) I had a hunch for a while, but she's been missing so long I wasn't quite sure if she was still with us. You remember my pics of her being courted :)

I'm fortunate enough that the ramshorns die in the tank I find them in, but not before laying eggs. I'm always worried that I'll transfer them to a tank they'll do better in and take over.

Indeed. Thanks for the tag. That tangle of sticks is similar to the tangle of grasses I was asking about in another thread. I wish I knew of a source here in the states.
