* Sorry about the Crappy quality, i have another tank, but can't get presentable pic's from it! *
 
Your pictures are fine no worries.

Hey if it isn't trouble-some for you, you should get a video of the fry, that way we could prob. see them better then just a snap shot.
 
No, it isn't any trouble. I think i have one from a couple day's ago:




I believe there is over 50.
 
Thanks! I actually got a top side shot of the female. She is getting very big ( bought her a week ago from a local breeder). I think there may be babies on the way!

Female:

Thanks! I love it too. I moved the parents out the other day. I plan on selling them.
Do you think that Bristlenose is about to lay? Never kept them before!
 
Idk, I haven't breed those before, but i'm thinking about breeding convicts myself, they are good parents so I can keep them in there with them, plus I can sell the fry back to the lfs.
 
Umm, idk if your LFS will buy them back. THey might take them for free. Convicts breed so easily stores get tons for free all the time. I just breed the fry to feed other fish, or sell at a auction( they sell for more there).

Im working on breeding Brislenose pleco's( as you know) and Yellow labs. Those are where the money is at ( labs sell for 10 bucks at the store, and Bristlenoses sell for 15 dollars)
 
^ Noted. Im going to try and take updated pic's today. They fry have grown alot.
 
got any shots of the adults with flash. i want to see how urs compare to mine.

PS theose baby convicts sure know who their moma is. lol
 
Sure, i can try and get a pic of the adults ( they are in a seperate tank). The babies have really grown.
 
New pic's!!!!!!!!

Here is one of the Labs:

I hope you enjoy!
 
Honestly, i am thinking about feeding them to other fish as they get bigger. Unless a auction comes by that i can sell them at.
 
Sounds like a pretty good plan to me :p Might end up doing that aswell if my LFS doesn't take them off my hands. Even if I got like a quarter a piece of them I would be happy haha.

I could always try aquabid.com.
 
I could try aquabid aswell. But i have the strangest feeling my overly protective mom wont go for that one!
 
Lol I see, well I really don't tell my parents until I actually do it, then if it works then I get to continue, if it somehow fails, then I get a talk and then I do it again lol. My parents honestly don't care, they think it's cool I do stuff like that myself. :p
