  • More New Fry Spotted

    From Jeff Snyder@1:345/3777 to All on Friday, March 05, 2010 11:51:00
    Hello everyone. This is just a quick update on spawn #7. While I know for a fact that Mama Mbuna had a rather large spawn this time -- around 21 eggs -- spotting the newborn fry has been difficult due to the number of rocks that
    are in the aquarium. Thus far, as of this morning, I have been able to spot four fry simultaneously. I am hopeful that during the next few weeks, as they continue to grow, become more bold, and come out into the open, I'll be able
    to spot more of them.

    That's all for now. Oh, and I'm stilll waiting to receive donations for that 280-gallon aquarium. :) :)

    :lol: the best donation i have is the plans to a 100/200 gal wood based aquarium... i'm pretty sure they can be scaled up to 300 gallons but it would take a bit more wood for the sides :P

    however, i'm pretty sure that i've posted them since you've been online in here... maybe you still have them??

    Hello Mark. Yes, I do recall reading the instructions that you posted here
    some time ago. I am really not a carpenter, and wooden aquariums are not
    really my thing . . . so I guess I'll just have to go on dreaming about the
    280 gallon aquarium . . . at least for now. And actually, I am not even certain that a 280-gallon aquarium could fit through my doorway due to the width of the tank, as well as the wall that is located right in front of
    the door on my front balcony. It would be a very difficult maneuver for
    anyone carrying such a heavy monstrosity.

    At the rate that Mama Mbuna is having fry, I might have to start having
    fried fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner soon. Nah, just joking. Trust me;
    I would never do such a thing . . . but I might have to talk to her about
    the serious issue of overpopulation and going green, or celibate, or
    whatever. ;)
