Update: Fry is growing and doing well. Still feeding infusoria, once it gets to ~1cm i'll start feeding crushed up flake food.

i guess i'm the only one who cares about my little GM baby

Anyways, it's about 1cm TL and the red is starting to show. It also has some shiny bits on it's head and side. Interesting

How many fry did you start out with?

I didn't use a very effective method for harvesting eggs. I put a male and female in one of those livebearer breeding boxes overnight and ended up with about 30 eggs. Usually a female will drop 200-300. I suppose they weren't too happy in that little tiny space. Once i'm done raising this guy, i'll try for some more.

Yay! Congrats on the fry! Looks like it's going great.

That's great! I tried to breed my (plain) zebras once, but it was a half hearted try. I got several fry, but none survived.
