Those pics bring back memories! Thanks for posting them. Glad to hear all is well. I've spent most of my time watching my honduran red points raise their fry. They are in a 125 gallon community and I cant get enough of mom and dad defending the school. Ah, the joys of fishkeeping. :-)
You have a fish shop that buys fish?? Must be nice! Im interested to see how long the female will stay interested in the fry with no other fish in the tank. Keep us updated! :-)
All right! Nice shots! How are the other tankmates holding up? Mine would usually stay well clear of the cloud of fry due to moms aggression if they got too close. What are your plans for them? Going to leave them in the tank or pull them?

I was keeping mine in R/O water. They did spawn for me and I raised the fry in the tank with the others. Recently I have noticed some fin burn on them. This may be due to me being lazy and not changing water as often as I should. I am going back to weekly water changes and have started using...
Hi I just joined and have a question...it seems I am not seeing all the threads on the forum...for example I only see 4 threads in the South American cichlid forum..is that right? or am I doing something wrong?
