Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus Fry!!

[josephavela]

To my surprise I came home to find a shell full of fry. I didn't even know I had a pair just looking to see if I can get a lil more info from the box? Should I seperate these guys from the main tank or leave them be and see what hpnds? They seem to be good first time parents the fry already survived one night.

Any further info would be appreciated! Thanks joseph.

Congrats! What else do you have in the tank? If only caudopunks, then leave the fry and see how they do!

Agreed, we have some multis in a community tank and thus far have been successful in allowing them to raise their fry in the tank after we took their first batch. My biggest worries are the petricolas in our tank. Any altos in the tank? They are known fry eating specialists, so I'd maybe move the fry if that was the case.

Congrats! Watching shellies with fry is a lot of fun. Get some pics if you can, I'd love to see!

Very nice. If the fry develop and you post them for sale i'd like to be in line for some of them.

Thanks guys it is pretty exciting never had shellies breed before as fare as pics can't post on mobile hfb. But I do have some calvis in the tank I think ima take them out. The fry lasted another night :).

Danielp if they make it you'll be first in line.

Sweet.

I've had them before they are a nice little fish.

Yeah get the calvus out for the time being if you can.

[aquabee]

Yep. The calvus will crunch on those fry like popcorn!

Yeah if its not to late the calvis will be taken out tonight.
