All breeding in the last few weeks. I'll get pictures of the c123 fry soon, I hope.

Depends

Congrats! Are they in their own tanks or community tanks?

Sent from my DROIDX
The C123 were in a community tank, and spawned within a few hours of being moved into their own 20L (except for a few RCS).

I moved the Bolivian rams from a community 55 into 20L about a month ago, but with some neon tetras and male Endlers. Their first spawn disappeared and the tetras looked guilty to me, so I removed them. The rams spawned again shortly thereafter. The male Endlers are too busy searching for a female to have time to eat the fry, I guess.

The kribs are in a community with some corydoras and female guppies, both of which are trying very hard to stay out of the way of the fry and their parents.

The rainbows are in a community tank. The only fry that survived were ones I removed to a 5 gallon grow out tank. I have another rainbow pair in another community tank that also laid eggs, but I never saw any fry. Of course, at this point, I really don't need more fry!

Remarkable - I make that F3

The ram elders would like to see some of the grankids as their nest is now barren. If you can accommodate us in this respect, I believe we would all be most grateful and amused.:D

I'd be happy to reunite the grandkids with the elders. Keep your fingers crossed.

Picture of one of the C123 fry. I don't think I have all that many, maybe 10 or so, but it's still exciting.

And a better picture of the P. Pulcher fry with their proud parents:
