Moba Fry Pics

[RonR.]

I stripped my black moba momma this evening and got 26 egg-bound wigglers!!!!!!!!!!!!!  They are in my tumbler.

I have 29 F1's in a floating nursery that are almost hitting 1" now.  I have 15 spoken for.

I have another 3 in another floating nursery that are at 1.5" now.  Here are some pics.

Re: Moba Fry Pics

Wonder if all 26 would make it if you let her hold them to full term.  Have you ever done that Ron? I'm sure that would be a month full.

I used to let my mommas hold 28 days and then would strip since I keep all my fishkeeping to a 180g tank.  The little ones would never survive if released into the general population.  Then I started letting them hold to 20-21 days and that was okay, but momma not eating for 3 weeks I'd start to see a sunken stomach. :(

When I strip at 10 days the little egg-bound wigglers are pretty healthy and I don't have to worry about unfertilized eggs............momma takes care of that.
