DCallele Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi all, I know I haven't been posting much in a while but life has been kind of busy. That said, my Paretroplus maculatus spawned on Friday, the eggs started dropping off of the rock yesterday, and their tails have just started to show. Here they are, approximately 18 hours after starting to move on their own. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 That's too cool. How big are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCallele Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 That's too cool. How big are they? Each of the fish in the pictures is less than 5 mm long right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Neat! I had never heard of these fish before. Googled them and they looked very cool. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCallele Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Nice pictures and good job.... What power of optical lens do you have on that camera? It's a Minolta Dimage Z3, 4 MP with a 12x optical zoom and super macro to less than 1 cm. Not quite Froggies camera (in fact, not even in the same league) but it is pretty good in low light and it has a great movie mode.

DCallele Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Kudos to you for breeding an endangered species. All the best. -Luke Thanks Luke. Endangered and "extinct in the wild" species are what I tend to concentrate on these days, at least for breeding; the species from Madagascar in particular. I managed Paratilapia polleni (large spot) about a year ago, the maculatus now, and I am hoping to do Paratilapia polleni (small spot) and Katria katria (formerly Ptychochromoides katria) over the next year with Paretroplus menarambo (once they reach breeding) soon thereafter. All really cool fish, at least in my opinion. :thumbs: David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
