The German Blue Ram Fry are still doing great. Here’s a picture of one that was taken last Sunday, about 21 days after the fry hatched.
The German Blue Ram Fry and the Australian Desert Goby fry are still eating Hikari First Bites, and Baby Brine Shrimp (BBS), and most of them are big enough now that you can see their little bellies turn orange after they’ve eaten BBS.
We have at least 22 left, and there’s a pretty big size difference in the smallest one and the larger one.
They started getting a more noticeable Ram shape around last Thursday.
Jeff was pretty excited to see that.

The German Blue Ram and the Australian Desert Goby fry are still doing well.
Jeff thinks he has about 60 Rams, which are still in a 10 gallon tank with a sponge filter.
I have only seen 4 Australian Desert Goby fry at one time, but there is a lot of java moss in the 1 gallon tank with them, so they could be hiding in it.
Three days ago I noticed that some of the goby fry looked like they had little black stripes, like the female adult gobies have, so I was really excited.
This morning Jeff noticed fry in the tank with the adult gobies, so hopefully a few of those will survive as well.
We knew there were eggs in the tank, but since all of the tanks are full right now we decided not to pull the eggs out, since we wouldn’t have any where to raise them.
The funny thing is that these guys looked almost as big as the 15 day old fry!

Here’s a picture of my male Australian Desert Goby, Mello Yello.
Right now we still have at least 7 fry, but we’ve counted as many as 11 at one time.
They are so tiny.
We are feeding them live baby brine shrimp, and Hikari First bites, and they seem to be doing well.
Right now they are in a 1 gallon tank with a sponge filter, because the Ram fry took over the 10 gallon tank.
I’m having so much fun watching them grow up.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hopefully we’ll have some Valentine’s Day presents from our fish soon.
We have eggs from one pair of German Blue Rams, and from our Australian Desert Gobies.
