i like the tank &fish spawning but do have any frys for sale.

[AvrilLane]

@franknitty696 I only have free Labidochromis caeruleus or free Julidochromis marlieri fry. I've no Cyrtocara moorii left. I did find one dolphin about 3cms in my filter two days ago, but the children want to keep it. Sorry :(

I've always loved these guys, ever since I seen one a few years back at a LFS (San Bernadino) show tank. Congrats on the fry.

The SYndontis mix their eggs with mouthbroders so they can raise their young much like the cuckoo birds lay their eggs in other birds nest,. Syndontis Multipunctatus has the nick name "Cuckoo Catfish". The ones here might be the Petricola...........not sure if they share this fasinating trait, but it kind of looked like they where trying.

@jkdjedi These shown are multis, they didn't have any luck this time but they enjoyed snatching a few eggs for din dins. The dolphin fry are growing nicely now and will post up a video of them soon. Thanks for your comments.
