Those fry look gorgeous. I'm guessing these plecs aren't on the cheap side either..
If I come across a stash of money in the near future I'll have to get some flown over

Great to hear you have another lot :woohoo: my male has just hatched out his last lot :whistle: not stopped since May last year
well im hoping these guys dont stop this time....
i poached 7 eggs today and one wriggler.... the male seems to hatch them up and then eat them... the egg casing showed about 17-18 eggs...
well i have 7 to try and hatchup.... shouldnt be too long till they hatch...
the wriggler died soon after - probably already damaged by the male...
i've taken a pic but will upload them hopefully with 7 new wrigglers

plenty of food... top quality water.... no or low nitrates..... and of course some adult fish (m/f)
ok they have hatched up today and i have 6 healthy wrigglers and one that looks like its struggling to free its tail from its egg sac... i'd say it'll be cactus in the morning.... but 6 is a good start..... took some photos today too...
got a new camera and still working out how to use it... too many buttons and features... what happened to the point and shoot camera that produces perfect pictures everytime!!!! lol ???
