2 Days Old - the First Pics
Here are a few pics of the 12 babies happily swimming about the nursery tank:
They are being fed 4 times a day on live baby brine... they are all eating, all healthy... the adults both look happy to be back together; the male started eating within a half hour of reintroduction to the display tank.
I was cautioned that perhaps it wasn't a wise decision to put the male right back in with the female so soon. Others isolate their males for a month or so to allow him time to eat well, "fatten up" and get his strength back before they spawn again. In my case, I really didn't have anywhere else to put him, other than the sump.
(Little did I know...)
