After not having any "babies" for several months due to a nematode outbreak with my cichlids stole my attention, I found 3 new little guys swimming around in my chili endler tanks.
Pretty excited - they're little cuties! Not sure if all will survive yet - it's the first "litter" for this female, which are usually small, and sometimes not all fry end up viable (regardless of line, species, etc) - but very excited to watch them grow Had to do some very last minute "fish tank shuffle" because I still have 5 boys that aren't homed and was using all of my bare-bottom tanks as cichlid "hospitals" - thankfully it seems the nematodes are clearing (cleared? tentative on stating that) so I went ahead and moved them back to their own tank so I could clean this one out and put these little ones here They are currently happily snacking on some daphnia now and checking out their new digs!
