Fry Development Photos
We are working on some BAP for various species, and thought we'd share a few photos here as things are developing. It is always fun to buy new fish, but there's something much more rewarding about growing your own fry and raising them from newborn to maturity. Here's a bunch of photos . . .
PLATYS
MOLLIES
AFRICAN CICHLIDS

Sounds like a clever innovation. Am looking forward to seeing the video.
Have you measured the temperature of the water? It would be an interesting observation to use a thermometer to take the temperature of the water in the tank, in the breeder box, and in a container of water just set out in the room to see what the differentials are.
If I don't heat my tanks, the water generally stays about 70 - 72 degrees in the summer depending on location in the basement. Temperatures are cooler by 3-4 degrees in the winter. Since I frequently forget to plug heaters back in after water changes, I've inadvertently conducted many experiments on which fish tolerate these cooler temperatures. Angelfish, B. cupido, Corydoras adolfoi and many of my S. American tetras are miserable at cool temperatures. Corydoras knaacki don't miss a beat. Fire Barbs (Enteromius fasciolatus) seem to prefer the cooler temperatures (Seriously Fish gives range of 68 - 79 F).
