Thanks mate, im really made up and couldnt agree more that theyve rewarded me with lots of babies. They're fascinating to watch and actually look better as babies than adults 😀
Definitely got the next tank to look forward to and hopefully ill be honoured enough to be presented with yet more babies in the new tank.
I could be wrong but under the impression that tank bred choccos should breed more easily or have a better survival rate of fry.
I totally missed noticing any hiding female or protective male and I spend ages watching the tank
Lots of it too George ha ha. Plenty to go around by the look of it 😉
Thanks ali. I think it may have been a culmination of the very warm weather we just had as my dining room gets full on sun during the day and I slightly overdosed on almond leaves and alder cones about 4 weeks ago to the point the water actually looked like chocolate.
Ill be starting a new journal on the next tank today and start the tank up pretty much as soon as its come. Give or take a day or two.

Your spoiling me now mate thank you ha ha. Only down side to that now is ill have to fix all the broken links to all the earlier photos courtesy of flickr grrr.
Thanks George really made my week this tank has.
Cheers mark, ive never had any joy, ive had 2 mums die from holding on too long and not eating and one ate her eggs when she dropped them through her gills.
Im hoping this will be the first of many
Yeah Mate im well chuffed. It was the shock when I saw them and then the excitement kicked in. I thought from a distance they were baby shrimp.Brilliant Al, you must be really chuffed. Any idea how many there are?
Also - 4 weeks?!
Ive counted 21 so far and all look healthy and full if colour
I know...4 weeks. Im going to have to try and delay it a bit as I cant go moving these that soon. If not ill have a very very full dining room 😕
Saw the facebook post thanks mate. Im famous ha ha ; )
I think your right mate, either a legend or just very lucky. Kind of feels lije theyve thanked me by giving me babies
thats a good one mate lol. Only just clocked the 'boost' comment ha ha. Massive cabinet session next week hey ??? Thanks Troi they look it indeed. I love there colours. Charged my camera up to get some half decent shots but I think its faulty as the macro mode cant focus 🙁

I thought I had written this already, but I cant find it... what will be the dimensions of the new tank and are you going via Neptunes or have found someone else who can make Acrylic tanks that size?
Alastair

Hiya Sanj, the dimensions of the new tank are 1800x1000x700 height mm. I opted for glass mate as I just couldn't quite stretch to the prices for acrylic unfortunately. Well I could but would have left myself short for other equipment plus ive just got a new bike too which cost me more than the tank 😳
