Have you picked out a couple of good ones each for me and Siobhan?!!!!

Unfortunately dad passed away i found him dead this morning, he'd been looking very depressed since i removed him from his babies

Today after i got in from work i moved the babies from the 7 litre tank into the 40 litre grow out tank.

ohh really sorry for you nat.!!

the green HM my fry are from,nearly died twice.he just sat in his recovery tank staring at the top of the tank did not move react anything.then when he did liven up,started biting himself tore his tail to shreds!!

sorry again nat,,hopefully you will get some sort of similar replacement from the fry?

Thanks Wayne, its just been a really rough horrible day today, my male dies, 4 of my new females have died that had the white spot, i found out one of our family friends have died out the blue and to top it off im feeling ill! Sorry im moaning lol!!

But thank you for your thoughts and kind words im hoping so too I need an 'Earl Grey junior' they are so small at the moment tho who knows what il get.

He kept building me bubblenests and swimming round and looking up at his nest, he started to bite his tail also. I was shocked when i found him dead this morning.

Hang in there Nat. So sorry for your loss. Better times must surely be ahead.

Oh No Nat,- not 4 of the females aswell! Oh what a nightmare for you. I can imagine how gutted you must be feeling.

Earl Grey left you a number of legacys behind,- hopefully one as splendid as him for you to love

so sorry to hear this Nat, sending big hugs to you!

Hope theres a junior for you

thanks everyone

Thanks... its the 40 litre qube

I dont appear to have any fry left from this spawn they where all eating well but i cant see any in their 7 litre tank!

i have a pair of red hm but male just cant seem to get itright builds a fantastic nest female is always ripe and keen but he wraps but dont squeeze so no eggs but he then spends two miniutes looking whish frustrates the female then she attacks him so i have to stop them but keep trying with them as they will get it right.

I cant believe this this morning iv come down to empty the tank and there's little eyes looking out at me...all is not lost and i may get an Earl Grey baby that looks like his daddy!!

So did the little eyes say "feed me"? I'm a hoping for you!

YAY thats great news Nat

Ha ha i think so id been feeding a what i thought was an 'empty' tank until last night when i didnt see anything, so yes they where probably looking for food so a nice meal of banana worms was fed to them...

OMG,- what did I miss?!!! I'm soooo glad that your tank isn't empty! How many little eyes do you think are there?

Im not sure not that many really from what i had previously iv seen about 6 not a lot but you never know what else might come out of hiding!

Oh that's such a terrible shame,- but hopefully you'll get a few big strong fry with at least one being just like his Dad

fingers crossed for me nicki

good news

At last

Well my fry i nearly washed away down my kitchen sink are almost a month old, i have a few photos iv just taken and i was shocked to see i have one quite big black fry with a redy browny tummy, the others are colourless at the moment.

You cant really see it's colour on my photos but i was amazed by its size as i really see the fry even when i feed them!

This is the biggest black baby



The other fry
