Our Interruptus

Wooo hooooooooooooooooo. The female has a huge mouthful of eggs

here she is without eggs..



Will try & get one of her holding...

Not much interruptus going on there then!

Another beautiful fish MC, really pretty.

Wow, what a lovely colour that fish is - beautiful!

Here she is with eggs... it was like trying to get pics of the loch ness monster!

just a quick update, in this pic you can see the shape of the fry & an eye is visible

Can't wait for the babies.

That's amazing MC, I wonder how many she has got in there?

nearly had a heart attack there! was just wanting to see how long she had had the fry in her mouth for and so was looking at the dates of posts.

Couldnt believe it when i saw the posts went back to december - how long does a fish brood for for heavens sake!!?

Then i realised i was looking at the 'date joined' side of the page by mistake!

Onlu excuse is I was at work at 4am today!

Poor you!

I worked for a while as a Nursing Assistant and I used to HATE nights, I used to think I was dying at around 3-4am, it was horrible!

any more news on this fish MC, is she still brooding the fry or have they fledged

I think MC is too busy with her new camera at the mo Hopefully she'll be busy taking photo's for us!

I hope so, the posts on these fish are great, I've leaned a hell of a llot from them.

Mmmm.............a severe reprimand is in order for MC I think, she's letting us down badly. No fishy pic for ages, not good enough :lol:

Lol... well here is a little update, she is still holding. We will be taking her out of the main tank tomorrow or Sunday. She looks like she has a fair few. I've never seen Interruptus fry before so it'll be a nice change.

The other lab spat 4 so we have 4 tiny yellow labs in the fry tank & 2 that are about 4wks old & growing fast.
The Acei Ngara that was holding has spat in the main tank & we haven't seen any babies so I think they became lunch

Oh that's a shame MC, and thanks for the update. The cichlid section on here is the first one I look at when I log on, they're such cool fish!

Have you thought what yoou are going to do with the fry - do you keep them or sell them on?

Thanks for the update . I can't wait to see the babies. I'm going down the cichlid route soon

Well, she has just spat 14 babies, they arre sooooooo cute & tiny & all crammed in a dark corner under a rock!

Awwwww!! They look like their mummy! Can't wait to see them grow up

OH MC, thanks for the update and pics. They're lovely
