    Congrats! never heard of a Leaf fish let alone seeing one. It would be an interesting addition to my collection. Let me know if any intention to sell the fries. Not too many just 2 will do.

    y_man, congratulations on the spawn. Probably the first time I've seen it anywhere except in hobbyist magazines.

    Still consider this a failure cos cannot bring up the young to adulthood. Will try again in the near future.

    Something happened to the fry? I read a breeding account of these fishes in an old copy of TFH Magazine. They need live foods to survive, so might be a little troublesome to raise.
