Last saturday night I was staring into one of my 201's caves daydreaming and contemplating selling the colony when my eye caught a flash of colour up behind the male. "you bloody beauty" I got fry!! I bought them about 2yrs ago as fry , there are 9 of them from 3 different bloodlines.I have removed cave, dad and fry from 5ft tank and put them into smaller tank. From what I can see of the fry there is almost no yolk sack left and are looking healthy. I am not too sure about the next step to take other than getting brine shrimp ready and making sure I have a good variety of other fresh food . Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Will try to upload some photos as soon as I can.

Congrats on the spawn, its amazing what threatening to sell them does :lol:
Just offer the same food you give the adults but crushed and they should be fine :thumbup:

well done mate. 201's are my first L number to breed.the fry are pretty slow growing compared to other L fry but still look good taking abit longer to grow to a decent size doesnt matter to much, i feed myn shrimp pellets and they seem to eat it pretty well.
well done, terrific news.
hope water in new tank was same as larger tank so no shocks for them
look forward to some pics later maybe?
