Congrats Bip!

Nice Bip-how old? I think once my Taiwan fry get big enough and I can move them, I'll take gravel out of fry tank, gets too messy!

Congrats!
woohoo babies!

whats in your water fry, fry and more fry. congrats again!!!

Thanks All!! I wanted to know what everyone thought.... Could these be My ob's offspring? I haven't seen any red on any of my fry before.

Jamie, they are about a month old now. (I put the "she finally burst" pic up on March 13th)

pretty fish but i have to say is the ob the father maybe but i find it wierd that they would show color from the first generation. then again i know nothing about peacocks.


the fish i breed i have noticed that you get hybrids like some of the peacock and color varients. i agree hybrids generally are bad and this could be a hybrid. i just would rais them out and see if it becomes clearer. my jack dempesey look nothing like ther adult parents so you may have something nice.

Harvick.. These are the peacocks you wanted some of.

that was bas akwards lol hybrids will show right off but color varients you need a generation to see the color

Thanks Jerry. I'm just about 100% possitive that these fry are hybrids. Another batch of her fry were on the blue side.

well in that case just rais them out and see what they look like. nice fish

sorry Bip-do u have spoge filter or reg filter running? Thanks.

Nothing to be sorry for Jamie.. I am running a reg filter, one of the kinds that actually go in the tank. Not crazy about it for water movement (breaking the surface) but it does a really good job of keeping the tank clean.

asking because I want to know when I can start my filter back up in the 10gl Taiwan fry tank...I am just running the sponge filter for now, but the grael is getting a little ugh-suctioning out food, etc. so it doesn't get nasty for now. When did u start running the filter after fry spit? Thanks.

I have been running that filter from day one. They don't go near it. To my knowledge, I haven't lost any yet to the filter.

Thanks Bip-learning a little everyday. I know I am clearing out gravel after they are big enough to put in 55gl. What do u have them now and plan on putting them? You still going to send me some? lol...I need to learn how to ship!

They are in a 10 gal right now. Not sure what they will move into yet. I have a couple of 20gals if they grow too quick. If we can figure out the shipping thing, sure you can have some. Same with the acei if you want.

Thanks Bip-I have a empty 55gl running/cycled and will be putting in peacocks/taiwans/haps..same here, if i can get the shipping thing down, will send some taiwan fry as well-have about 30 right now (only about 5 days spit), 4 died the other day...

Gratz on the fry bip. I have some johanni/ Mbamba hybrid fry in a 10 gallon and they growing to be quite interesting

Any time Jamie. Sounds like a plan with the fry swap.

Thanks Dane! Those fry of yours sound pretty cool. Do you have any pics of them?

I just moved them to a new tank, so ill try to get some pics tomorrow in betwene studying. They are a brilliant yellow, and some have dark bodies with bright yellow fins.

I want some!! Very nice fry.

ok Bip-got to get some sleep eye..will chat later...get my email from Roger if u don't already have it!

Dane, I look forward to seeing them. They sound really nice.

**Ok Jamie, I got it. Sleep well!

**JR.. I'll see what I can do. Have to remember everyone that wanted some. I just can't wait to see how they turn out.

hooray... babies..

They look great bip and when my fire fish and OB had fry they showed color very early as well. These guys look good :)

Cool!! TY Marti. These are really different from this peacocks other fry. They were a blueish tint, no sign of red at any stage. I think it would be pretty cool If my ob was the father. I am definitely going to keep some to see how they turn out.
