Day 6

I totally had a squee moment tonight when I saw the little guys sucking onto the glass!
I love the happy feeling I get every time I see how much they've grown! :woohoo:

Yeah he's only about 7 1/2cm. He's doing very well and he's very protective of the little ones. He has been more willing to let me peek the last two days though and I swear I can see his bristles growing before my eyes!

The photos are brilliant, it doesn't look like you got any albinos which is a shame but the fry look healthy and will probably produce albinos themselves when adult size. it's a nice feeling when your first set of fry start appearing on the sides of your tank and flitting up and down eating the algae.

Day 7 & 8

A couple more pics than usual this time.

Yesterday


Today I come home to find 3 little adventurers out of the cave.



You can see the reflection of the top of the cave in this pic. They're all hangin' around near the front now. So I put in a piece of cucumber and an algae wafer for them to munch on when they're ready.
