P.parvulus fry

[Fredrik Engström]

Hello all!

Found some fry in my parvulus tank for the first time today =)

I could count to 3 of them, all about the same size, ca 10mm.

I managed to get a picture of 1 but its a litle bit dark water…

Thanks again Helene for the beutiful parents!

That is very good news, Fred. Parvulus is one of the species which I found a little bit harder than other species.
Often you dont get very big numbers of fry, – but theres probably more than 3 🙂
Well done and congratulations.
Just one word of – maybe not advice, – but just my experience. Parvulus fry I leave in the tank with the parents as long as possible. A few times I have had problems trying to seperate fry perhaps too young. I think perhaps it could be because they are more vulnerable to any kind of change in water conditions, at least I have had reactions of odinium when seperating too early. They can easily stay in the parent tank for very long.

On my front, I am happy to report that one of my anjunganensis couple, which are actually probably five years old now have just given me at least 3 young fry. I have been waiting for that for quite a while, so that is also good news for me.

That sounds good anjunganensis I would also like to make time.
Helene is right when she says that should not be separated too early from his parents the young animals. I suppose the boys only, out when the boys have completely recolored with the entire breeding cave, from white to “black” in this method I now swim about 50 young parvulus. Must say though that I parvulus actually very intensiev breeding to the stock in the Project a bit of lift. Unfortunately that does not work at ornaticauda.https://www.parosphromenus-project.org/media/kunena/emoticons/sad.png
