They don't mind fry from a previous spawn in the tank?

[RAmenFSM]

Hi, again. How did you make this trick between 3:16 and 3:18? It is awsome.

[sprocketbomb]

That little bit of fuzz is actually a flaw in the disk I used. I didn't re-take the video because my mind thought the same thing as yours. Cinelerra, the editing program I use has a feature that can do that though. What editing program do you have?

[SovaBieleny]

I use my camera Sony H2 to take my videos. Sometimes a friend of mine helps me out with other videos so I do not know, really. I will find out and let you know. Bye.

[SovaBieleny]

9/10

[sprocketbomb]

10/10. Haha

Thank you for the input.

[SovaBieleny]

Hi there,

Maybe you'll remember me. I am the one who "argued" with you about the genuity of your "H. carpintis". I insisted it is crossbreed. I am glad you finally admitted it. RESPECT !!! I put 9/10 because I do not like so many camera moves. But fish are brilliant - I favourited them. Anxiously waiting for another vids. Best wishes - SovaBieleny.

[sprocketbomb]

Haha, it was simply traced back. If it was not for you, it never would have been done. A million thank you's. It may not even be the constant movement of the camera which is bothersome, but the way in which I moved it. A stop-go type of motion, rather than a slow, fluent move. Thank you for the good words, I too am a fan of your videos.

[RAmenFSM]

How many different tanks do you have? It seems like you have videos of only a fraction of your collection. I demand more!

[sprocketbomb]

more to come

[sap0926]

nice ....i just spawned some f1's

[sprocketbomb]

Thanks and congratulations! How about a video? :)

[sap0926]

I didnt notice the leftover fry in the background of the video, I am pretty sure mine are ready to spawn again...

[sprocketbomb]

You have a very beautiful pair.

[ddyerfamily]

I love the video man !

Your fishz color patterns are awesome !

My texas look like mutts compared to yours...lol

I will be putting up a video showing mine with fry soon.

Showed their last egg clutch in my april fishroom video.Hard to photoghraph eggs.

Till next time..:-D

Nice looking fish !

[sprocketbomb]

Thanks!

Look forward to your video. :)

[ddyerfamily]

The young pair are still very nervous about me looking at their fry.Since I stole their last and first batch :-).....

I walked by today and they took off so fast they sent their fry flying everywhere.LOL

Will be hard to video them till they are a little bigger.

I will try over the weekend when I do waterchanges.

[RAmenFSM]

A new video! Cool. Very nice Carpintis. Is the Escondido from a specific location?

[sprocketbomb]

Thanks...escondido are from the river Escondido. :)

[RAmenFSM]

What do you feed them?

[sprocketbomb]

Same as other cichlids...pellets, tilapia fillet, earthworms, shrimp, the occasional feeder...

[sprocketbomb]

Forgot to say: They require vegetation in their diet, I give algae discs every so often to account for that. I also buy anacharis for them to munch on all day.

[ddyerfamily]

LOL......

[sprocketbomb]

Spring cleaning anybody?? lol

Sorry about the occasional fuzzy spots...I removed the remaining fry right after the video. (I find they grow fastest when with the parents)

[ddyerfamily]

I agree fry grow much faster with parents but end up with less survivers in the end ;-P
