Labidochromis Caruleus Lundo Island Spawn

[jonclark96]

I picked up 6 of the white "zebra" labs from Dave's Rare Fish at the summer BBQ. While they are still quite small, there is a male who is constantly colored up and I noticed a female holding earlier in the week. I stripped her last night, but only managed to collect 4 fry. She is still really young, so I tried to be really gentle with her when stripping the fry. She may have held on to a couple, but couldn't really tell.

Two questions:

1. For you experienced mbuna breeders, is a small spawn like this typical for young fish/

2. I know we had kicked this around in the past, but do different collection points count as different fish from a BAP perspective? I've already spawned yellow labs, so will this spawn count?

Could be some escape
she is still young she will only get better
They soon will have more than you can handle

I find small clutches of eggs to be common with young fish. Like Craig said you'll have too many in no time.

I thought white, yellow and clown labs were different fish and I think it counts for BAP. I will check my notes to be sure though. I know we talked about it regarding BN plecos.
