[sjivani]

Damn that was quick...:cool:

ya, i know right?!?!... well they are cousins of the ominous convicts, lol

[spxsk]

Wow, that is fast. What else is in that tank?

[masroberts9]

hahaah, right on man.... are they hybrid babies?

[cichlidfan]

Wasting no time!

[budwick weiser]

doubtful on this batch... both the male and the female hrps are keeping close guard on the brood... jack is on the other side of the tank.

[masroberts9]

well after the babies grow out a little it just gives the jacks better odds. :hehe:

[budwick weiser]

Wow, that is fast. What else is in that tank?

couple types of calvus, pair of giraffe cichlids, ebjd, a trio of dolphin mandas, a quartet of yellow peacocks, three red zebras, two yellow labs, two blue acei, two blue haps, five yoyo loaches, two bn plecos and maybe something else...

[kewlkatdady]

chances are the egg will be gone by morning...
those africans will get em some caviar

[budwick weiser]

eggs are still there

[kewlkatdady]

congrats... those HRP's are on gaurd.

[masroberts9]

cant you scrape the eggs off the glass and stick them in another tank?

[kSpieler]

Woot, grats on the eggs. Hopefully the parents will keep up the great work!

[budwick weiser]

i don't have another tank... let alone the drive to raise the babies... i'll let nature take it's course... so far there are 9 white ones and probably between 50 and 100 eggs still stuck to the back 'alive'

[masroberts9]

:hehe:ahhh feeders

[budwick weiser]

now if i asume that mrs hrp has been shacking up with my jackd.... then i may have to do something to ensure that some of those babies live.

[masroberts9]

like get another tank. well your in luck.:hehe:

[kSpieler]

hmmmm, does a hrpXjd make something cool?

[kewlkatdady]

cool feeders...

[budwick weiser]

hmmmm, does a hrpXjd make something cool?

i have an ebjd... so i'm hoping that if they do swap fluids i can get something small and colorful.

[kSpieler]

well ... just make sure whatever you get is curable :rolleyes:

[budwick weiser]

hah... well i'm not getting anything from this batch... came home from school and the wall was picked clean. better luck to the little guys next time.

[kSpieler]

Bah, sorry! Somehow I am sure at some point you will have more than your share of baby hrps though :D

[budwick weiser]

ya it looks like they're prepping the corner of the tank again for another round.

[masroberts9]

they liked the taste apparently:hehe:

[kewlkatdady]

no suprise...but still sorry to hear.

put something removable and hope they drop eggs on that...

this will make it easy to remove.

[budwick weiser]

sounds like a good idea... let me kill these 3 black skirt tetras and 1 gourami in my extra ten gallon and i'll get right on that.

[bra8ndy8]

Good luck on that .....I have 15 bst and I can't kill them for the life of me!

[mrsadler]

wow why cant wait to see what happens

[kewlkatdady]

flush....



problem solved:tease:

[budwick weiser]

seriously thinking about it... never change the water in this 10 gallon, only the filter cartridge when it backs up and i top the water off when it gets too low for the filter to pick any up. this tank has been up and running for a few years now like this.

[masroberts9]

I have a turtle that might help with that.

[CE2008]

I have the same fish! and I cant get them to breed dammit! lol

I have Red zebra's, yellow labs, and about 6 Red Pointers
and some other unknown baby cichlids.

Did you have a pair or what?
