Multi Fry

[mdk54]

G'day everyone,

Just thought I'd let you know, I was feeding my Multi's at work this morning, when I noticed something move in one of the shells that is guarded by a pair. On closer inspection, I noticed that it was a lone fry! Although it's free swimming, It looks like it's not very old as it is tiny! Then... I noticed that another shell down the other end of the tank had a fry, then another one! After looking closer it looks like these 3 fry have all been from different batches as they are all noticably different sizes.

I must say I am a little suprised as they are not in optimum conditions.

- 400 x 256 x 280mm (28Ltr/7.5G) tank
- Crushed coral sasnd substrate
- AquaClear 50 HOB filter
- Feeding Wardley Premium Cichlid Crumbles







P.S. Just as I finished this post, I've found another tiny one, in yet another females shell! Up to 4 now!

Ian's boss:

"Ian, can you please explain why your production level has dive bombed?  And why are you always passing out cigars?"

Hahaha! Well my Boss is pretty cool about it, and everyone else here loves to look at them. Mind you, I did 'weasel my way in' with it. I started of with a 2L Betta conatiner and a Betta. However this got too cold in the winter months... So I 'HAD' to upgrade it to a bigger one that I could put a heater in... Then the Betta wasn't really 'happy' in there and in came the Multi's
