I need to go feed my fry now
I need to go feed my fry now
Out of curiosity, how do you keep track of your gene lines? In a notebook? Some sort of... app? Do you number all your aquariums to keep them straight?
My pairs get numbered and the tanks get written on so I know who is where most of the time. I AM "old school" however and keep logs of everything in note books, not on computers. Notebooks, the paper kind , don;t crash.....they just get thrown away. At the moment however, most of it is still in my head so as things start to get more organized and settled, I'll be transferring my head notes into book notes.
Im from this "new school" generation and I still prefer paper and pen. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Glad everything is coming together for you it looks great. Wish I were in Florida your getting to do what I would of loved to do. In the Midwest fish aren't in such high demand as they are in Florida or California, at least not where I am located. I'm surprised you even have enough time to post with all those spawns and feeding schedules. The adults look awesome I can't wait to see the fry when they start taking shape and getting color.
As an after thought I wanted to say I Think the parents know their fry. Mine would protect theirs to the point of nearly jumping out of their tank if someone even approached to feed them.
I use computers to go online and play games on. Fish don;t know what a CPU is and I am just too tired of trying to explain it to them. I just want them to make good babies.Some things I prefer paper and pens while others I prefer computers.

I wonder though if I put one of the fry back with them ,now that they are quite larger, if they would realize it was one of their fry?.
I doubt that the fish recognize their offspring once they are removed then returned. They would most likely just be seen as an intruder to the pair. That's why some Angels will eat their free swimming spawn in order to protect their next spawn.
As for the Oscars vs the Children, just how bad do you want to see your children?? ( just kidding )
