Nannacara anomala female in breeding colours

[celticfish]

Picture of the male as requested.
BTW its full breeding colours for him too.
They are kept in adjacent tanks and have been flaring at one another forever!
I was hoping this would keep the maternal instinct up and stop the female from having the brood for lunch.
Seems to work!







Face-off! (with fries! )



Back to the topic.

Very nice pictures taken...!!!

[exotic_idiot]

Wow... Full view of your male, pretty handsome green metalic colour...
I like it....!!!
No wander, one of my bro very interested to get this fish

[CK Yeo]

Why not remove the female and raise the fries artificially?

ck

[celticfish]

Just did that.
As you said the fry grow so sloooowly....
Trying to get another spawn.
Cannot waste the nice rainy weather we have now!

[exotic_idiot]

The fries should able to live well by themself now...

Cannot waste the nice rainy weather we have now!

Time for me to make use of the weather too but more fries = more space needed!!!

[celticfish]

More fry = More space, indeed!

Here are some crappy photos of the new spawn.
Had to shoot at an angle to the glass and full direct flash...
Mum's out with the armada now.

[CK Yeo]

OMG. I already have my hands full with one batch. What are you going to do with so many fries??

don't underestimate the fries, they are faster than apistogramma fries on a diet of tetra pro colour flakes only.

[celticfish]

Honestly, I don't know!
Both females are with fry at the moment.
If the last brood is an indication they should be pared down to the 20 to 30 something range each.
Hopefully a little more manageable size.
Grow out though is a different animal altogether.

[SCOPE]

wow...now you got another factory on this! congrates

[celticfish]

@ ash,
I will try the Tetra Pro.
They are currently on decap BS eggs and BBS.

OT.
For those interested, C328 has a pair in the usual Apisto tank area.
Price? Very reasonable.
