I don't often get as excited as I am with this batch of photos.

The Honduran Managuense are breeding yet again. This time around I allowed access to the female. She visited for a few hours and laid eggs that night. She generally hides the wiggler in the far corner until they are free swimming. I didn't pay that much attention to the amount of wigglers. I went down today to find an AMAZING number of fry.

Here's the female with a batch of the fry. Thre is literally three times this amount in two other places in the tank. I've never seen a spawn as large.

Here's the male:

And here's the amazing part...I was fortunate enough to have the fry gather at the front of the glass.

Just so you have some perspective on size:

Now for the cool part:

And my absolute favorite:

That's it man, I don't know if I will see a better picture of these fish.

Seriously, this is like sh*t my pants good....

You weren't kidding those are some great shots of the fry!! Really like the last one.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice shots !

They even look predatory as fry , all head and mouth. Those protruding eyes, I'll bet they don't miss a single bite of food, what could possibly escape that visual field .

If you look very carefully at those fry you will see that they have my name on them. :smokey: Seriously Mo, those fry are at the very top of my fish wish list. Once I move in May you can expect constant harrassing to get some of them. Nice pics.
