Well, this time I got a few wrigglers.
Minutes after the Kamfa was picked up, I noticed the parrot picked up a dark egg with a tiny tail and spat into gravel. Now I see a few here and there.
I was palnning to take down the tank today...
The last pic of the Kamfa 2 days ago.

wow....is it an indo kf?

Dude, you shouldn't have gotten rid of that kamfa bro, thats the reason why the head was down, because he wanted to breed. Now some one has an awesome fertile kamfa, which is rare! try to grow out those babies!

Oh ma a fertile male kamfa!!!!!! That's amazing. Grow out those bad boys.

Rofl Nelson, so when i can come pick em up

Thanks guys.
The fertility rate is very low - 5 - 10%, one reason could be they are both young. They already had it once 2 weeks ago, saw some dark eggs but never met the babies. Well, I have 1 salvini, 2 Yellow labs, and 1 pictus cat in the tank.
Taking down the tank today, will put the rest of eggs in a tub, and see if I can syphon out some wrigglers...

Ken, the Kamfa is gone, parrot is pending sale...

wow thats kinda messed up, ~.~, but least you have fry to see what they will look like ;)

wow, is this going to a local member? let me know if parrot sale falls through

managed to syphon out 30-40 of them - 3 day old, transferred into a tub with 50% tank water and matching temp. never has experience w/ fries, see what happens.

Sure.

dam who picked it up

thats a really nice pair.. man shouldnt have gotten rid of that guy..

Nice Nelson. i love the kamfa he hasn't eaten yet just smells the food i hope he starts eating soon. Im so glad he's fertile. I hope i get some rocking fry out of him. Please do some updates on the fry.

I don't know if you noticed but it looks like he has hith im going to go out tomorrow and pick up some medications.

Respectfully,

wow rare kamfa fertile bro, so lucky.

You should definitely try to breed that fertile male Kamfa again but the original pairing should produce some awesome offspring because the male had great red coloration and pearling and the female was an awesome red color. I can't believe you broke the pair up. The first spawn should turn out really nice, colorwise, kok is kinda unpredictable with the male being so young but the new owner should consider himself lucky. HITH is really easy to treat so no worries there.

no you need to spend a good chunck of mony to buy a female for that bad boy bro,he is worth it....

Na man hes got a hot little King Kong Parrot there

should breed it with some short body female...get some tubby kamfa....hahahalove the color...wa a lucky new owner

Those fries should turn out pretty nice. They new owner of the Kamfa is very lucky. Good luck on the fries.

Thanks, everyone.
looked like a few are close to free swimming, threw in a bit crushed flakes today.



I don't think he has HITH. Those are sensor pits and always there. I fed him NLS almost exclusively, and water has always been pristine. Be careful using any meds.
He is a moody b, and it'll take a while to get used to a new owner.
When I was checking out the eggs through glass, the parrot always charged to my face, the kamfa would gentally mouthed her away, every time... Never seen this behavior against the female other time.
