Miracle baby found last night!

[Don90]

Hi all. About a month ago, my female SP mamore red had fry.

But she died while the fry were really small. She was still herding the fry back then.

The last time I counted, I saw about at least 6 fry.

When the female died, I didn't see the fry again.

Until last night, I saw one!!!







I honestly hope I can find more of these guys. Its a real pain in the butt looking for just 1 female apisto.

And it has grown! Time to start hatching bbs again! Any other fishes in the tank? Better to remove if there is.

I have 7 cardinal tetras, 1 emperor tetra, 6 pygmy cories, 2 zebra otos, 1 oto and 1 red lizard cat in a 2 ft tank.

Strangely the father didn't eat the baby last night.

But finding the little one is a pain, 1/2 of my tank is covered in Java moss!

So I can't seperate.....

Time to get a new female for your lonely SP mamore red male dude...
Sometimes death is unexpected so be prepare to get 2 pairs or a trio "1 male 2 female" for backup in case...

That's what I call good and healthy subtle further poisoning

Congrats Don on your find. Take good care of your fry!

This reminds me of the story 'Finding Nemo'.
Only Dad (Marlin) and one fry (Nemo) survive.

"Good things come in pairs"

I found one more fry last night. I've seen them swimming together a few times this morning.

I took a few shots of them together. This 2 pics are taken with a 2mp camera phone.

The other pics I will upload soon as I used a 7mp digital cam to take. will upload when my sis passes me the camera back.





will get breeder traps so I can make sure they get to eat their bbs.

Nice...! Hope you get a male and female.... And pair them up..

[iwishweallcouldwin]

Congrats! Hope you find more miracle babies along the way!

[Don90]

I keep seeing the same one fry today. didn't see the second one this time round.

Hopefully the other one is alright.

I hope one is male and the other is a female so I can at least do an F1.

but sadly none of them have the red tail which SP mamore red is famous for.

Maybe now still young.. Must wait a little longer...
