Good work my friend! sounds like you have some knowledge on breeding fish. I prob don't have to tell you this but I will mention it for others reading this post and want to give it a shot, make sure you outcross every 2-3 generations. otherwise you will end up with some horrible inbred thing which will be of no use to anyone.
Love your work tho!

I've got a load of fry hiding out in a cave, went to great lengths to get a good genetic mix and they spawned about 11 days ago. The male is still guarding them at the mo, I expected them to be venturing out the cave by now, all yolk sacks gone that I can see?
