Looked a lot lighter than the other spawns...I owed it to the stark white background the last two times.
It's been about 18 hours since layed and they're more of an even tan with no signs of fungus anywhere...so here's hoping :fro:

Got babies...initially lots of babies....Amy.
Of course "survival of the fittest" comes in,so down to a paltry 300 (which is roughly 25%,and to be expected) ....which is easier to manage.
Had to leave town for the week,so had to leave them in the hands of a complete novice to fry rearing (but Melissa still deserves a big "thumbs up" :fro: )...also why no updated pics.
They're just now "free-swimming"...so will try to update before the weekend's out.

None at the moment...work schedule that made me miss all the week's fun meant I had "family catch-up" time and "marital bondage" (uh...bonding :-[ ) to see to first.Then Melissa :heart: suggested a day of collecting "Natives" (Darters...my favorites :heart: ).How can you resist when your wife says "Baby,lets get wet"?
So will have to update this coming weekend...do have the "wigglers" on the memory card...promise to give you those,the "free-swimmers",and the current spawn (just laid :fro: ),along with some shots of my new modest "Native" tank.
