Re: Houston we have fry

Check back with Fishlady or myself towards the end of summer, her fry are about 2 days old and mine are 10 days old, I'm pretty sure I speak for the both of us when I say, the fry won't be leaving home until they are big enough to fend for them selves in a new tank. So maybe towards the end of August, maybe a tad longer? I'm not sure how fast they grow from FRY to JUVI?

Congrats. Asking when they will become juveniles is like asking "When will I become an adult?" Who knows. Some may say I am already and others think I have a long way to go. There is no definite rule  to determine when a fish become a juvenile, sub-adult, or adult.  I agree with you and think that it is a good idea to hold onto them for a while. They should be able to fend for themselves by the date that you mentioned.

Re: Houston we have fry

oh yeah ek....we've been looking for chalinochromis for awhile now....the 2 that we found were very weak and frail and didn't make it thru the first couple of days here....so we're in hope that we get some of those soon....but my momma is a blue mask......and cichlidfan's momma is a peach face.....so i can't wait to see the little babie grow up....they are both gorgeous little fishies...

Re: Houston we have fry

Anywho, we'll keep you posted on their progress and we'll most likely want to shed some ...sometime down the road.

Re: Houston we have fry

Excellent, thank you!  I think I am going to try to breed two pair of the Daffodil ones in a 55g. Do you think that will work out having 2 pairs in there?

[fishlady]

Re: Houston we have fry

i think the tank should be big enough for them....no problem with that....and good luck on that too....
i'm downloading pics of my fry as we speak so check again....

[fishlady]

Re: Houston we have fry
