Does anyone know what the fry and grown fish would look like. seth

I was wondering if Protomelas taeniolatus could breed with PROTOMELAS STEVENI TAIWAN REEF. I only have the 1 steveni taiwan reef that is a female and 3 red empress. ONe red empress is a male and the other two are female. They have been breeding for a couple of months now and it looks like the...

they are a solid color. they may be orangeish yellow. thanks seth

Does anyone know what color red empress fry are. Do they look like the females or are the different at about 1/4-1/2 " in length. I had a red empress that spit her fry but i didn't see them again and i have found 2 yellow fry and wondered if they could be hers or are they mabe the yellow lab...

I have two holding fish. 1 is a 2 inch yellow lab and the other is a 2.5 inch Aulonocara sp. 'Stuartgranti Maleri' Maleri Island. the yellow lab has fry while the other has only eggs. I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 fry from another pair( not sure what they are) they are about .5 inches. Would...

I have a holding yellow lab in my 125 with lots of rockwork. I am wanting to take her out and put her in a 10 by herself so she can release the fry in peace. I tried catching her but with no luck last night. Any ideas on how to do so without stressing her out to much??

Its official. My red empress spit 8 fry out today and they are so flipping cute. I am hoping that the yellow lab will soon do the same. thanks for all your guys help seth

cool thanks. If there is any information you guys think I should know it would be much appreciated thanks again seth

about how long should she hold the fry if she is in fact holding. Is it a different amount of time between the yellow lab and the red empress?

That looks about right but is the center under there lower jaw distended as well. Also The red empress is usually out and everything but it only came out for a minute and went back in. Is that a good sign or a bad sign. thanks seth

I have two fish that look like they could be hold. They have the square jaw and that lower area beneath there chin is distended. Am I correct to think that they may be holding. The Yellow lab is about 2.5 inches maybe a little bigger and it seems to hang out by itself and when feeding happens...

what type of african is it then. any suggestions

here are a couple of crappy pictures of the father. It was bought originally as a convict but maybe they were wrong.. thanks seth

It is not the Jack dempsey at all. it is the african and the convict that are for sure. It isn't a guess. My fiance witnessed the african laying eggs and taking them into her mouth and the convict swimming in front of her and releasing his in-seam-team for her to take into her mouth to...
