Default Yippee... Y Lab dropped her spawn...

Well, well... The Y Lab droped her spawn... Now we have 6 more additions to
the family..This is on top of the 7 Kenyi/Socolofi crosses.. Now it also
appears as if our fullborni has a mouthful... At least this Chrismas has a
bright side for me..

And no, the cross breeds will not be given away or sold... these fellows may
end up as food for other cichlids.. Where as I know the Yellow labs are
true labs, and Borni's are definantly Borni's...

curious to know how long they were holding. I have two holding females in
separate tanks with one of them likely approaching a month and the other
close to that time.

tahts strange that you only got 6. You sure you got em all? My lab female
dropped 9 the first spawn, and they 22 the 2nd one..and shes still tiny. Male is
probably 4 times her mass....

I seen 7 in total, the lab female is very small compared to the rest of my
labs. There was babies in the tank and then there was at least one more
left in her mouth when I retrieved the other babies..Last night the Lab
started eatting so I know for sure she is not holding anymore fry..These fry
are very light coloured/transparent and were hard to see in the Community
tank.. Hard to know wehter or not the resident Haps got a few to snack on.
These little fellows should grow fairly quick.. Now the Fullborni has about
another 2 weeks before she starts dropping her fry... These should be really
nice as the parents are very nice looking fish...

Tim...
