I'll take one later and get it on for you all to see..x

Surviving fry doing great... Just thought I'd update you all.. He's a lot bigger than he was... Eating well.. :)

Well it's the largest I have available at the moment... So looks like he's staying in there... I have this air stone that has a filter sponge inside, I'll throw that in with him, and keep an eye on the temperature...

There's when it was in the breeder...

Mog, yeah it has the split part, but It also has like a floor piece, that blocks the slats so the eggs/fry don't fall into the tank, but the gap between the side and the floor piece allowed the fish to, with a wriggle, get through, and then through the slats into the tank... I was thinking of...

Well I had a marina breeder box, chucked them in that, floating in the top, and 3 managed to get down the gap between the trap and the main bottom of the box.. So ended up food, stupid thing, what's the point in a breeder box, that lets tiny fish escape?? Put the surviving one in a separate tank...

So I have 4 surviving fry, in a small Tupperware pot, just wondering now I don't need to tumble, what's the protocol? Thanks x

Lost a couple, seems asif their yolk sacs ruptured.. I'm not sure if despite the holes being so small, and the stocking covering it, something is managing to have a go at them.. I know a couple hang round there but a few have disappeared :/

There he is :) he's lovely x

I planned on buying a few yellow tailed acei, their colour is beautiful, and with the yellow labs would look great, but going to wait for the outcome of this first.. My green phantom Pleco is very active today.. Usually quite nocturnal, but over the last few days he seems happier.. Maybe he's...

That great, thanks so much... My tank is at 81' anyway..I have 15 just wiggling about.. Hope I manage to make my first time a success... Definitely plan on getting a small tank for babies to grow out... I'm sure she'll brood again soon, even though she's only 2/2.5 inches...

Still bobbling around, I've took the lid off the container and put a stocking over it and positioned it so the filter outflow flows gently into the container, providing a nice gently rocking motion for them, and a good circulation.. They seem happy enough, how long will it be before the yolk sac...

I've put the airstone underneath the Tupperware pot, the holes in the pot are so small that only the odd bubble actually gets through, meaning it's just gently rocking them every couple of seconds?.. Will that suffice.. They seem alright, wiggling away..

I won't be able to catch her again now, the tank temperature is quite warm anyway as standard, my circulation is really good, more so in the area they're placed, they're all swimming at the moment, so I guess I'll hope, if not, they'll brood again eh?x

Someone in my other thread said they're too young to survive :/

Why not? What will she do different?

Decided to strip my female yellow lab.. 14 fry, with yolk sac eyes and tails, in a floating Tupperware pot with tiny drilled holes, floating in the top of the tank... Just wanted to know that they're not too small etc, and what to do next... Thanks Emma x

Looks like we have 14 babies :) just hope they're not too small, can see eyes and tails.. Just floated the pot in the top of the tank... Will that be okay?x

Yeah when she comes out of the rock she's made home, she hangs round the heater..x

It's almost asif I can see them moving in her mouth, in the pouch... She keeps doing a strange gulpy type movement asif she's stopping them from swimming out... Got nowhere to put them if I stripped them now though :/

She seems to be coming out more all of a sudden, as though looking for somewhere to spit, had an episode of trying to dig.. Is there anything you'd recommend, or shall I just leave her be? x

Here's some pics...

I have a 2/2.5inch yellow lab female, seems to be holding, under her mouth seems saggy etc, constantly hidden inside a certain rock, not eating... All the symptoms.. My question is she's been hiding for a while so I don't know how long she's been holding, so I don't want to try and strip, only...

Hey all.. Not been on here for a while... Just moved into a new apartment with my aquarium now in my living room... Was just wondering (to add to the aesthetics of the room) if for when I turn my built in twin t5s off, I could use something bright enough to cast some light throughout the tank...

Again, it was the alpha male of the tank that died.. He always seemed to chase the rest away..x
