Bandi Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I aquired an electric blue and a blue gene female from a friend (don't know if he wants to be named) and I have been waiting and waiting and finally!! Success! The eggs look good, nice a dark, no fungus and the pair are alone in a tank. This pair has raised more than one spawn in the past, so I will let them raise these guys for a while. Then I will pull them in a small tank and feed babies micro worms,high protein fry powder, then grindal worms and once big enough... black worms. I'll keep you posted.

Wingin' It Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Congrats! I like the look of these fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Hopefully you get some viable fry from it. Cool fish. Strong fry are hard to come by. Edited December 24, 2011 by Jayba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandi Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 The fry are tens days free swimming now. The death rate as been next to zero as I can tell. They have doubled in size and are eating BBS, infusoria, microworms and now I have introduced them to a high protien fry powder. Can't tell the blues from the regulars yet...soon.

Bandi Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Double gold! Another spawn! The first spawn is doing really well. Should be able to tell the blues from the regs in the next few days. And now we have a second spawn that just started free swimming today.

Bandi Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have sold many privately, and a small bunch went to a LFS. I still have a few in my tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
