Vid of the Aug 27, 2011 spawn, but the just spawned again tonight (June 4, 2012)
 

Wow, that's a longtime between spawns!  They are perty!

Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]

Rich, keep tabs on the numbers (normal, picasso, plat).  I (And maybe WE) know someone who's very interested in that data

Was there any further development?

They are all going strong. 
 
Only a couple plats.
 

 
Gotta find time to file the reports!

Looking good!

When measuring the length, is the tail included?

I include the tail
 

That's good to hear. I've always wondered if my fish is too undersized to breed.
