Thanks guys. I'm very proud of the broodstock. They are honestly some of the best percs I have seen. The picasso came from Doni, so they might produce some snowcassos. We'll see. I'm just glad they don't take as long to bar up as my regular percs!

Thanks. They spawned again today. That was quick. Everything seems to be going faster with these guys. They are spawning every 10-12 days and the eggs hatch on day 6. Temp is only 80*F. I'm not complaining though. The larvae are doing well. They have nice silver bellies and appear to have some orange pigments. I also observed some "tail curling" which surprised me. With my other percs, they only exhibited this behavior when they were approaching meta, but they are only on day 3.

I collected another batch from this pair two days ago, and the older batch is getting close to meta. I'm seeing tail curls!

Thanks! The water is still a little cloudy from the phyto, so I doubt I'd be able to get any good pics. I'll try when the water clears. I'll start introducing the otohime in the next couple days. I'm so excited to see how they turn out! Hopefully I will get some picassos...
