Thank you, they are my favorite and are always the first fish people recognize in the tank! This is my first attempt at breeding saltwater fish, I had several successful batches of Flowerhorns when I was into freshwater fish. So far everything is going well, the tank the fry are in are all hatched and the water is now green with rotifier. They are swimming around looking healthy and happy so far!
