jvision Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Plecos, plecos EVERYWHERE!! I just did the WCs for the week. When I change water in the "Hump Tank" I usually drain it down to the top of the male's vertical cave. It didn't look like he was home today, so I drained it a bit more - cleanliness is next to godliness, right? When I go to fill the tank again, I notice that he's in the cave, and moving around a bit. I'm thinking, this looks a bit like he could be fanning eggs. I was wrong. He was fanning fry!!! There are about 70 little guys, some have already absorbed their yolksacks! So, I had to do some rearanging of fish, so that they wouldn't get eaten in the fry tank (some mbuna got moved to the big tank a bit ahead of time, but they'll survive). They're about 1/4 the size of their older sibs. I'll likely start selling the first batch just before the ACE Auction - I'll keep you all posted.

Leon71 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Jason, how are the little ones doing. Seeing as the auction is this weekend, are you going to sell some before as you thought you would? Just curious. Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ok, ok! I've had numerous PMs and postings asking for these guys. :P I don't have time to get 'em all together this week, but I'll bring 'em to the auction for anyone who's interested. http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showt...0entry2079882 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Here are some pics: These two give a reference to the size they're at The biggest guys are around 1" SL (or 1.25 tip to tail). You can see they eat well - look at those full bellies! And, this is what they pig out on! They're fed zuccini, NLS H2O Wafers and NLS Grow. They eat it all with gusto!!
