yo haha how are the 2nd batch of fries doing?
i miss keeping them! they do look like L174s when they are small and chubby! but maybe later on they will grow longer and less like bull pugs.

i finially did a official count of this third spawn, there are 25 babies! Also, this is the first time in all 3 spawns that there is no casualties so far.

here are more of their pictures taken today.

I managed to take a picture of one of the babies of my very first spawn in their breeder tank. i was really lucky this fellow stood still to pose for the shot because i hardly see the babies exposing themselves, they usually hide in the drift wood the whole day.
