| Haven't been able to post on here for a couple of weeks but about two weeks ago by Long fin common male and sf female had their second batch of fry!! Their first attempt only amounted to 12 fry although I think the presence of another male had something to do with this. I have since removed the other male and I now have around 40 - 50 fry. I have counted 4 albinos as well, just waiting to see if any are long finned! | |

| Congratulations- did you condition the parents beforehand or did it just happen naturally ? | |

Cheers, It just happened naturally although they are well fed as they are in my main tank with my Discus. The male especially will eat anything on offer and is often out when the lights are on the female however is much more shy! I know she is ready to spawn when she is out and about when the lights are on. | |
