Ehhh, I want to get above 90%.... Although I guess with current space constraints we'll see.

Tomorrow I do have an odd job I'm doing for a little extra cash, helping my professor set up and move around some tanks in his office... not sure how much but I'm hoping enough to pick up a 40 breeder before $/gallon is over....

Statistically speaking, Statistics are based on 100% hatch and survival. That doesn't usually happen. And, considering that albinism is a fault/ defect, unless the breeders are both albinos themselves, these fry are usually the weaker ones so you may not get any live albinos. Statistically speaking, albinos don't usually survive.

Rainbow breeder told me this same thing. He said with his albino strain he gets few viable eggs and he's been working on them for years.

So around 100-200 wigglers made it by my estimates. Not bad I guess. Hoping for some albinos in the mix.

Good going! I know you are short in space, where will these go?

We've got a 15 gallon bin that should be enough for a while. By the end of the month we'll have a 40 breeder set up for more fry. So I'm thinking the fry in the 55 stay in the 55, fry in the 26 move to the 40, fry in the 15 bin move to the 26, and by the time these new wigglers need to be moved into the 26 we should have sold the batch in the 55 and possibly have a 2nd 40 breeder

So how's everyone doing? Not much to report. Still no new multi spawns. Angel wigglers are developing, the first batch of angelfish from November is almost dime sized now.

55 gallon is growout to nickel size, then selling off the best to Poppa's site, the next best for the good lfs, and any left to the crappy lfs.

Between that and money from odd jobs I'm getting two 40b for more growouts. Then I'll have a 3 gallon bin for eggs and wigglers, 3 10 gallons for fry, and a 26 and two 40s for growouts. I'm going to use the planted 55 gallon for raising the best of each spawn to breeder size for Poppa's site, AA friends and myself

And of course if anyone on AA sees fisg they like just PM us, ya'll will always get first dibs

Thanks! It really makes me appreciate how much it takes to make the fish we keep. We're going to have 14 tanks and just 4 of them won't be about angelfish breeding

I just noticed AA has a chat Does anyone use it?
