I threw them together in a tank, and they went crazy on each other. But since they didn't really damage each other much i went to sleep.

I WEEK LATER!!!!


EGGS!!!

From what i know the males like 4-5 month old ~_~, The female is about 6-7 month.

Hopefully he's fertile :)

My lovely tank got torn into pieces lol.


This is how they original looked before going through the breeding process.


My male currently at 6 inches :)



And my female curently at 6.5 inches :)


Hopefully the eggs hatch :)
Wish me luck!

Three Days After The Eggs Has Been Layed

Well it's been three days, I guess since there not all white means some could be fertilized :) *prays for the best* A couple of white ones on the far right is showing signs of water mold, but since the fishes are fanning them nonstop (of course only halting to eat when i feed them lol, thus me being able to take this photo) I think the eggs would be fine. I left my convicts eggs alone like that too and I never had problems with the eggs. To bad i don't have a better camera.

I never had flowerhorns eggs before so i don't know how long to expect them to be before they hatch. I know my convict's eggs hatch about 3-4 days in. So maybe i'm expecting them tonight or tommorrow :)

Ass you can see, the water moss spread out like a plaque ~_~.
But it's fine, the eggs are proven fertile! Why? Because I see a wiggler!!!!
Yes the egss are currently hatching right now. The parents though seems to be ignoring them ~_~
Aren't they suppose to move the babies to a safer place? lol.

The babies were gathered by some rocks. But their hidden by them so no photo.

Now, should i be moving the parents to another tank? Or should I keep them together? Such a hard decision.



Here's my tank, think there's enough space that the FH's won't cull down there own babies?
I wraped my filter up with Media Filter Bags so the fry's wont get sucked up. :)
Three filters lol. Yes I love to over filter! I love how clear my water is.
Filter on the left "Penguin Bio Wheel 350" Filter on the right "Penguin Bio Wheel 200 & Filter on bottom right " Eheim 2215-37 Classic Canister Filter

Well, back to the main topic, hopefully the babies wont swim too close to it and get sucked onto the bag.

I'm afraid there gonna cull down their fry's to a manageable size.

SHOULD I, OR SHOULD I NOT SEPERATE THE PARENTS ?

As you can see, wrapping the filter up with media bags wasn't enough lol.
The fry's didn't get sucked in but the force was so strong they couldn't swim away.
I woke up one morning with like 10 of the fry's stuck on the media bag.

So i went out to buy some sponge filters. ~_~

SOLD OUT!

Ok, they had none lol.

I saw these power head filter's lol.
Look like a sponge filter to me haha.
Took these home and viola!




Lol custom fitted them to my water filter.




Now my fry's don't even get stuck to them!




And I get my super filteration system!



Well, that aside. Here are our little fry's free swimming around. After hatching in a week.












There's about 200 of them i think. Really hard to count since they splitted into three schools.
I moved the parents as precaution although they didn't eat any of them up. But who knows. They might have.
I'll update again when they get a bit bigger. I'll try to do this weekly.

Can't Sleep ~_~

Since I was a little bored i took some pics :)
