CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Well It's been a while since an update on my newest fish my pair of dempsey's. So I'll tell ya what's been going on lately.

I finally got them moved into their 55 gal. got it decorated very nice, and added their favorite pot. they've been in the tank for about a month. Last week I noticed my first batch of eggs on the side of the pot. Four days later they hatched and started to swim a little with mom and dad. I figure there is close to 60 to 70 fry that have survived. I have the old 30 gal. tank set-up and waiting to use as a grow out tank. the male has reached about 4" and the female about 3".

I do have one question for someone, When should I move my fry into the grow out tank? I want as many as I can to survive. Do I wait for them to grow fins and that sort of stuff before removing them?


Well FUZZY, that's the latest on the Dempsey's. I will post some pictures of the eggs from when they were laid until present time soon.

Cool tug

Not sure on how long to wait for moving them, but someone will know I am sure.
