Just got my first batch of eggs from the new pair, only 3 days in and I'm thrilled. My other pair's been together a month, still waiting for some action. Raising fish is such a joy, no matter the species.

The new pair's doing great, moved the wrigglers to the side of the cone already, first batch and all's looking good so far.

The new pair are really stepping up to the plate as parents. Taking turns keeping the little ones in a tight group, while the other rounds up the stragglers and brings them back to the fold - impressive for a first batch, really.

Lovely to see. Jewels are indeed fantastic parents, I've had great experiences with them too. During breeding, my pair's coloration transformed into this stunning ruby red - an absolute treat to behold. Would love to see more updates and photos of your little ones.

Thanks for the congrats, I'm really enjoying the experience of raising these little ones. They're easy to breed, I know, but there's just something about watching them grow that I love. Will get some more pics up when they're a bit bigger.

And now another batch, these two are just fantastic parents, my other pairs I've put together, they just end up eating the eggs.

Jewels are pretty cool, but they can be quite feisty, lol
