[Bobtail]

Mange tak! Nu må jeg se hvor mange der overlever den næste tid...
Jeg bor på Fyn - 220 km fra Malmö.

Hur går det med ynglen Bobtail? Lite nyfiken på hur de ser ut nu en månad senare.

#17. I have about 10 left. They are still very small, and i am surprised by the slow grow-rate they show. The fry i have from my victorian cichlids grow 5 times faster it seems. Positive it is, that i have had no deaths the last weeks, so hopefully these last 10 will survive.
By the way - the parents are looking ready to spawn again anytime soon.

Thanks for the response Bobtail, and that's interesting, read somewhere that the growth was quick from start but got a bit slower after 5 cm or something, but there are always variations I guess. I sure hope the 10 youngsters survives to become adults

Here they are, breeding again. Note how the male changes color from normal, back into breeding-dress when he comes near the fry in the middle of the video 1.41 - 1.54... Looks cool.
Merry christmas Sweden.

That’s a great video right there!! This fish is so damn beautiful and special to me, it’s always been like a dream for me to have them one day. And yes he switches colors like a Chameleon there
I wish you the very best Merry Christmas Bobtail and thanks for the video.

#21 I have about 40 fry now - so you can purchase them from me, if you can't find them in Sweden.
