Yesterday, as a child was staring at the tank he said, "I saw a baby!" and from my desk I said, "No, it's just a baby snail on the rocks." He says, "Do snails swim?" lol...I ran to look and sure enough a little 1/2 inch fry..found another later.:xmas1:
We never saw any fish holding or witnessed any holding behaviors. Maybe we didn't notice because this would be the first batch of fry for the female and the number of fry would be smaller?? Can that happen?
We are not sure if it's the platytaeniodus sp. "red tail sheller" or the xystichromis sp. Kyoga flameback." The fry are gray in color. I'm guessing the latter because one of the females didn't eat for a couple days about a month ago. They are also much bigger than the shellers.
We are very excited.. I will try to get pictures but they are very adept at hiding ;)

ps...will get to posting more on our project...time has been an issue.
