Ya the pouch for sure. she will not open her mouth enough for me to see though. I think Im going to move her over to a holding tank soon.

OMG!!! How many tanks do you have? And how often are your fish producing?Hmm, fry pics? I have a few...
Synodontis multi, would have been a brood of peacock fry:
L-10a red lizard whiptail fry. Not difficult to spawn, but raising them is a different matter:
Brown BN fry:
Albino BN fry:
Super red BN fry:
Cryptoheros cutteri fry:
Juvies here:
Australoheros oblongum fry:
I have 13 tanks running, and there is almost always something spawning. The cutteri are the worst, I have 4 pairs that regularly produce hundreds of fry between them. Very few of them grow out though, between the catfish and Carapo knife they share tanks with the fry get picked off unless I move them to growout tanks. The BN also produce quite a number of fry now that I have multiple breeding pairs in various tanks. I toss the brown BN fry into the cichlid tanks for snacks and grow out the albino and calico fry from the brown breeders. I also have 2 pairs of super red BN that spawn regularly, I do grow out their fry. I currently have 4 young Synodontis multi's, 2 juvies from last year and 2 tubby little ones from a couple months ago. Each of those took out a mouthful of peacock eggs and likely a few of their siblings before the female peacocks spit them out. Nonetheless, I have peacock fry in several tanks too, some that I moved and some that are growing on their own, dodging between the rocks.
I also have groups of other pleco's, L-333, L-340, LDA-08 and L-134's that I hope will be spawning this year, as well as the 6 little Tanganykian catfish that help keep the cutteri under control. Working on Sewellia lineolata and reticulata too, though I'm running out of tankspace. Will probably get rid of the brown BN breeders shortly to free up a couple of 40 gallon breeder tanks. Then there's the several hundred endler's livebearers, and even a few white cloud fry growing out in a 10 gallon tank along with 5 adults...
Great fun with those pics, Thanks for them. Im trying to get a 10 Gallon ready to transplant my Female Peacock over to before she spits them. Its getting ready with seeded gravel from my 55.
Question, I put the small 10G filter in the back of one of my HOB of the 55. How long would it take to seed that filter ??? Days, weeks
