Dam I take my eyes of the forum for a couple of days and this happens!

CONGRATULATIONS!!.. to you and the fish,
What's it feel like to be among the first in the world to have managed this in the home aquarium!

makes my recent success with Pulchra insignificant

See if you can get your hands on shelled Artemia eggs its very fine and the fry'll love as it close to what mum may supply them (I'm abit dubious on the whole feeder egg thing with Pulchra and Ornates as I seen no evidence of it with the 2 broods I'm currently raising).My first brood have reached 1" long in 1 month eating that and now will happily eat any ground up pellet food.

Dont fuss over them and they'll be fine.

Good luck with them, oh and when your over run with them in a couple of months time gimme a shout and I'll have some of you

Regards,Jos.
