So, I have a new year's resolution to raise more multies this year. I've had a ton of spawns but not a lot of surviving fry and I've sold off all the ones that got big enough to do so. This year I'd like to try to raise a lot more and keep a lot to grow my colony. I've started pipetting bbs into the nests of shells wherever I see fry to try to get them to grow and survive better.
Not much else to report otherwise. Rams ate their spawn overnight, and the redhead marbles are due to spawn any day now and look primed to do so. Gonna leave this spawn with them for sure.
I would be happy if I could just get my multies spawning.
Good luck with all of your fish.

I don't want to let them have this one, I like hatching baby angelfish
Yup that breeder bug bite you good

Sometimes the cycle of egg laying will be a batch of lower amounts...
I'm in the same boat as you on eggs and wanting to leave them with parents for the parents sake,but then I remember I am breeding these fish not keeping them in my DT...
I want what is best for the fish but also to continue to improve the line instead of accept what I get...
Nice big spawn this time I suppose the non-enriched brine shrimp were the culprit for the lackluster spawn last time.

I agree about keeping breeding the fish, but part of it is a space issue. Right now my two bigger growouts are occupied (the 26 and the 55). I'm only using one of the 15 gallon bins but I don't want to create a log jam in the bigger tanks with spawns of different ages. So for now I'm kinda forced to let them have this one.
What???? You are out of space???? Mark the time and the date!!! What was that last post number I told you to mark again? ( Sorry, I couldn't resist. )
Being out of space isn't the same as giving in Once I sell these first few spawns I'll buy two 40 breeders and then I'll have plenty of space! And then I can reserve the 55 for growing out the best offspring as breeders.
They deserve a rest anyway. We're trying to balance their role as livestock and the fact that they are really our pets more so, so we'll probably end up babying them a little when it comes to resting
