MarkN Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I have a group of 201's, all wild caughts and in a tank with a group of Red Top Lwandas. Well today I found around 15 babies in the tank! Incredible find. The parents are really elusive and I rarely see them. All I ever see are their tales while they are in their caves. All the babies are at the top of the tank and on the top of the heater. The only reason I saw them was because I was doing some excercises on the floor beneath the tanks and happened to look up at the water line! I am supe stoked about this find and cant wait to see them grow up. I wonder how old they are as they are around 1.5CM's! Any ideas? Also are they ok in that tank? Are they safe with the parents and the Lwandas? Thanks Mark To make it better I also stripped 40 fry from my Auloncara Kandeensis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkN Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I decided to remove a bunch, those I could catch and put them in a fry tank. I went down last night and found about 10 more with the flashlight! Not sure if I can catch them today but I think that brings my total to 22!!!! Here's hoping I can keep them all healthy and growing! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban_Cowboy Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 very cool... i would just leave some of the babies in the tank if they are already 1.5CM they must have been in there a little while at least and have made it... so if you havent caught them already i would think they will be fine just my 2 cents congrats on the babies hope to see pics when they get a little bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
