Genetic Line:   FX 3rd or more Generation

Line Traits:   Males have orange on tail

Year Acquired:   2025

Purchased 2 males and 3 females from select aquatics around march of 2025. Atm im only interested in growing my colony, and will be happy to spread these out once my colony is strong enough, i will reach out to those who messaged me on here in order i received, most likely by summer of 2026

Species Spawned:   Yes

In 7 months had 4 drops and now have around 25+ fry, they are doing really well i have 4 that are almost adult size

Have Reared Fry?   Yes

The first two drops i removed females but left the next couple to spawn in main tank because plant cover was sufficient and dont seem to be predated on. They take crushed flake and high quality Nori, i add adult brine shrimp and black worms once they get bigger.
