Genetic Line: F1 First Generation
Year Acquired: 2025
Aquired a group of young fish from Greg Greggory and they grew quickly. A pair formed and spawned within ~4-5 months.
Spawning notes:
Species Spawned: Yes
Male carrys the eggs. Well they're supposed to carry them for 2-3 weeks. Carrying for ~4+ days seems to be the magic time for success, and my young males don't seem to get that. So far 3 days is as far as he's gotten. Still working on getting a successful spawn to the point of raising fry.
