The convict cichlids emerged from the driftwood caverns yesterday with a new brood of babies following close behind. Bold little suckers, the tinfoil barbs float just a foot above the main nest without snagging a meal.

The guppies seem energetic today as well, there are congo lines in that tank with the few females I have left in the lead. I need to raise a spawn or two more of those guys as the tank is emptying out..

Also the bettas in the ten are spawning as I type. The orange male seems to be having a difficult time flipping the female over but they are getting in a groove now with more successful wraps then not. The peacock cichlid and red tailed hap fry are all hiding out in the apogneton forest the fills 90% of the tank.

The molly babies are getting big now, I'm not yet sure how many I'll keep. I have black and dalmation mollies if anyone happens to live near Rockford, Illinois and wants a couple.
