| Yeah, so far I have lost 15 out of 59, but that is a total for all, for the most recent batch I have lost 6 out of 33.
Right now I am setting up a 20g for the fry, I think the net is getting a bit crowded :P.

| Oooo! Yay, new tank. I kept 32 in a 6.6g and only 5 survived...plus I had random batches of two or three where none of them made it. Good luck!

| Thanks! I actually have a few people lined up who want some of the babes when they get older. They'll probably get them for free... But I know they will be going to good homes! Of course that is if they survive fryhood!
...sorry for the terrible use of pronouns...

| So my oldest fry is about to turn 2 months old! And my youngest are almost a month now. I wasn't able to count them today, they are just too quick now, I haven't found any dead ones, but I did however kill one today when I sucked it through the siphon  . I know I have roughly thirty.
I snagged some picks.
This one is a bit blurry, but you can see these two look just like their parents:
Most of the fry still have their spots:

| Don't know if anyone still looks at this thread, but I still like sharing my pictures. Here are a few new ones, the fry are getting bigger everyday. Unfortunately one of the two month old fry has developed fungus and I think his whiskers are gone, so I am treating pimafix, hope all goes well. Everyone else looks happy and healthy, the current count is 24.
