Labeotropheus fuelleborni orgy . . .

Walking through the fish room about an hour ago, I notice Snuffy (m) and Ginger (f) spawning.

Every other L. fuelleborni male was trying to get in on the action . . .

For certain, Snuffy (assuming he isn't sterile) fertilized some of those eggs, along with Fred (who has spawned with Ginger at least twice) and Davis (a Marmalade Cat male).

Sonia said that she saw both Fred and Davis get in there to spawn with Ginger as well, which made Snuffy none too pleased.  At one point there was at least 5 fish in about 1 gallon of water, all interested in spawning with Ginger, or in Whitely's case ( albino Pseudotropheus socolofi) just checking things out.

First free swimming fry
Posted on: 2005-08-06 11:46:01 by: Ryan

Today, I noticed the first free swimming fry from this spawn.

There were two fry that got sucked into the pre-filter.  They are going into another 10 gallon fry tank so it'll be interesting to see the difference of growth rate between the fry still in the 210 and the ones in the smaller tank.
