Spawning notes:

Species Spawned:   Yes

Surprised at which the first fry appeared. Seemed as soon as I provide them with a bigger tank with more cover and hide fry just appeared.

Have Reared Fry?   Yes

This is only second week with these fry. 3 regularly come out for food BBS is their main staple 2-3 times a day live/frozen.
