ball of dough babies?

[Eko]

hi every1. i stripped one of my small demasoni last week and got 18 fry. i just stripped one of my larger ones and got 4 fry, but after she released those 4 she coughed up a huge ball of doughy looking ball. what is this? dead fry? can i put it in my tumbler??? or will it kill my other babies if its dead and infects??

answer asap pls\

i have no idea what it is... can we have an update? did u figure it out? x

update on dough ball found in demasoni

yes and no. i tried to tumble it by it self but nothing happened. all i found in it was a peice of pellet. so im guessing she tried to eat and hold but she failed. only 5 survived her brooding and out of the 5 only 2 are left alive and healthy. but great news! she is holding again / so ill put a pic of my setup and the fry from my first 2 spawns and a picture of my holding female. hopefully she wont mess up this time.

thanks for asking

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

yes please on the pic! updates are very cool.
thanks for sharing! how are the fry doing? x

 

[Eko]

[Eko]

here are the photos of the fry(the 2 survivors) there are 18 other fry in their but they are hiding . also here are more photos of my setup. i have another one im working on for my 30 Mpimbwe blue frontosa i will be receiving this upcoming week. thanks & hope you like.

thank you

sounds like you may have stripped her too early?

 

[Eko]

no i do it 18-22 days after they spawn and the 5 babies that came out first were almost done developing from their sack.

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

if i were you, id look in their mouth each day. when u see fry, wait 5 days and then strip. some fry take longer to develop. but from the sounds of it, it was a first-time mum and wont know how to fully spread the milt for best fertilisation. beautiful tanks btw!! xx

 

[Eko]

yes i will do that right now actually . thank you. what tanks do you have? im having 30 f1 mpimbwe blue frontosa shipped this wednesday . im super excited

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

tanks = setting up a 75 for the oscars, currently a 40 and a 10.

30?? how big is the tank ha? x

 

[Eko]

well i have 3 40g breeder setup for 3 grups of ten. i plan on growing out 2 colonies and selling the remaining males to make back my money . then i will purchase 30 mobas and doing the same thing. so if everything goes well & god willing i hope they do. i will have 2 135g tanks with frontosa mpimbwe blue and 2 150g mobas breeding colonies. maybe a 2m 10-12 female ratio in each tank. 2 75g with demasoni breeding groups. and a 75g of breeding tropheus. thats the plan.

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

woooooow i will sooo live in your cupboard if u get those tanks 8)
lol! x

 

[Eko]

lol. ur welcomed . i will be moving to texas soon and my gf and i are getting a 3 bedroom house. master bedroom with 2 75(she loves demasoni & they love her too). a game room for our ps3s & wii with 3 large tanks with moba & mpimbwe(2 135g & 1 150g), & our office will have a 75 with tropheus & 150 with mobas.

the house may contain half of the pacific, but it will be worth it
