My fishy work finished for the day I'm happy and my fish are happy. That still leaves me a nice little breeding group of 2 males and 5 females. When I was busy doing my water change on my 55 gallon tank, I caught about 8 Yellow Labs that I want to sell and put them in the 20 so it will be easier to catch them when I sell them. While I was at it I scooped up the Pleco in there and transferred him to my now empty 20 gallon. I did a 50% water change, vacuumed the substrate and added a little more and them re-arranged their aqua-scape. In this tank there are Red Top Zebras, Acei and OB Peacock. These guys are getting a nice size and I need to sell them as I'm going to need more room soon. Next I worked on my 30 gallon grow-out tank. Next Iĭid a bigger water change on my youngest fry tank. I just did a small water change and left her alone. Next I did water changes on all my tanks. There are 44 fry Albino RedxReds and RedTop Zebras but they are only 6 weeks old so they have some time. The fry that were in my 20 gallon I moved to my new 10. I had a new 10 gallon which gave me a little more room. She needs the practice more than I need her fry.įrom the left Yello Lab group (20) Mixed Fry (30) 6wk fry (10) I have decided that if/when she holds again I'll just let her do her thing in the community tank. The fry in the tank could have sucked the eggs through the mesh but they are a little young for that so I'm not going to blame them. This morning she was not holding and the eggs were gone. Yesterday she spit them out but picked them up again.

I had her in a brooding playpen hoping it would be a stress-free place for her to get used to having eggs in her mouth. The Yellow Lab that was holding ate all her babies.
