There are a lot less of them than we started out with, but there are still at least 20 or so, so I’m happy.

We also have some Bushynose pleco fry that just left the cave yesterday.

Well one left yesterday, two are out now, and the rest are still in the cave.

There is an article about Breeding Bristlenoses in the August, 2008 Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine, and it says that the fry are cannibalistic, so that probably explains why don’t have too many that survive.

We do have two larger fry from about 3 spawns ago, so I am sure they are having a field day with the younger fry.

Here’s one of the newer fry. He’s so tiny!

Happy Independence Day!

The baby rams are still going strong.

I’m really in shock – there was so much fungus on the eggs that I didn’t think anything would hatch.

The only reason that we didn’t take the slate that the eggs were on and clean it up is that Jeff was about to leave when we noticed the fungus – then when we went to clean the slate their were fry everywhere.

The fry are still going strong, swimming everywhere.

This is the largest hatch rate that we’ve ever had, and there are fry everywhere,

There have to be at least 200 fry in the tank.

Hopefully they’ll continue to do well.

The picture shows a few of the fry in front of a moss ball.

They’re so tiny, and so cute.
