Fish Eggs *pictures*

**Osiris** · 08-12-2005, 02:13 PM

Thought post some pictures of what fish eggs cichlids look like for everyone to see hence why i posted it in this area:
Eureka! No really, Eureka photo's lol. Have 20-25 fry from first albino female to breed with him and be able to take his wrath! cuz he has pretty much wanna come close to killing in any male tank.

This is Daddy:

Hopefully next week will have Lwanda Baby pics to show..

aawe im soo happy for u, lets light up a cigar and celebrate

i yet to have any fry from a 20cherry barb tank and a 55 w/ a pair of angels, but i got a close eye on the female, i didnt feed one day b/c both ate ALOT, to much the day before and were really fat The day i stoped feeding bot a female and male were flat again, but this morning before i fed the female had another buldge on her side, the kind she gets when i feed her,

very nice pics, i got one Q why are there bellies so big, and i will have to get some pics of my angel eggs and guppy fry sometime

**Osiris** · 08-13-2005, 02:44 PM

Thanx everyone! should be free swimming by end of next week with no more egg sacks.

Jonno, those are the egg sacks that their are transforming from into fish...about another week those egg sacks should be gone..

**Cichlid Man** · 08-14-2005, 02:38 PM

I thought that pea****************s were mouthbrooders? Are you sure they are malawi cichlid eggs?

**Osiris** · 08-15-2005, 08:31 AM

LOL yea CM your right but, i stripped the eggs couple weeks less chances of swallowing and can keep a closer eye on things, i've been told can even strip 3hrs after spawning the eggs but i gave it 1-2weeks.

They are free swimming in their own 10g i came back saturday evening and egg sacks completely gone fast developers..

Stripped 30 fry/egg's from Lwanda red top's saturday evening as well i like eggs

**Cichlid Man** · 08-17-2005, 07:48 AM

Great! Loving it.

**Osiris** · 08-17-2005, 08:14 AM

Well those eggs you all saw i shot these photo's last night, their growing really fast!

Also had 14 Lemon Jake Eggs in hatchery few days old just like two black eyes and tail..

ferrikins · 08-17-2005, 08:38 AM

WOW what a beautiful fish (dad that is)

congrate on fry, I just raisung my first krib fry, there 4 weeks old and taking blood worms already. I so suprised how fast they have grown, I'm use to livebearer fry.
Any info on your fish, would be great, like how big do they get what size tank do they need.

**Osiris** · 08-17-2005, 08:55 AM

Thanx, i noticed i don't think i mentioned why some are regular and some look albino.

The male is a split Eureka(regular with albino gene, hence looks different) and his mate is 100% albino, giving about a 75% albino, 25% Split fry(regular with albino gene)..just a FYI

Thanx, they can get up to 6" about, they'll be cool in 50G Tank, but prolly best in 75g as adults....

Here's another pic of the daddy i recenetlly moved him..:

IloveCichlids · 08-17-2005, 09:04 AM

What settings did you use on your digital to get such a good pic?

**Osiris** · 08-17-2005, 09:18 AM

on the kodak easyshare camera on Macro(the flower looking button) and take pics, the zoom just wasn't nearly powerful enough to get a clear shot of the fry up there on the rock i am going to play around a little more tonite to try get a nice clear shot i may have been standing to close to their tank..

**Baby_Baby** · 08-17-2005, 09:26 AM

Are you sure they are malawi cichlid eggs? __________________ If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
