Tropheus Fry, Old And New

[phishphorphun]

Here are a few shots of the newer fry and the older ones in the tank. Some of these shots are not cropped at all so that you can tell by the size of the rocks how big (small) they are compared to each other.

The newest fry...

And the older fry...

And an older fry compared to the young adults in the tank...

Looks like my tank (except yours is a lot cleaner). There are probably more fry living under the rocks that you dont even know about. I have 2 living in the sump under my tank, they went "over the falls"

 

[phishphorphun]

Ouch. I wonder how many are in my canisters.

 

[maddog10]

Well, usually they don't survive in canisters. They just get pinned against the sponge and die. (hate to be the one to break the news to you)

I kinda knew that. Never found a fry in my canisters. And have had them for a while. Just was wondering how many have made it through the tubes to their doom. :wacko:

If you guys would educate your fish, like in Finding Nemo, they would be able to stop the filter and survive. In our case though, they would have to find a way to board a plane to get back home.

Thought I would add this shot to the thread. I added a 1.7 teleconverter onto the 105mm f/2.8 vr lens to try and get a tighter shot of the little buggers. This little guy is pretty beat up. Dorsal is bitten quite severe.

Poor little fella! But he is really quite a cute..... In an underdog kinda way....

I used to have a 2m/10f group of rubescens red peacocks that were in a tank filtered by a fluval 303 canister. Water flow was pretty low, like most canisters, maybe 175 gph. I found live fry in there all the time, along with malaysian trumpet snails. Don't dump your canisters down the drain without inspecting them first!
