Well out of the first spawn, there is about 20-30 fry left at about 1/2". They spawned again yesterday. What am I going to do with all of these fish? The first fry are too small to sell/trade and they don't have any color except for the brown/white speckles. When the second spawn arefree swimming and are of a decent size, I'm probably going to have to separate the parents until the second batch is sold/traded. Anybody need some kribs?

I'm overstocked as well.

Our younger Guppies have recently matured, and as they were never moved to the tank with Angels, they've started up again.

I've just collected my largest batch of Cory eggs (fertile that is), since January. My Fry enclosures are fully booked.

That's the worst about having prolific breeding fish like
kribs, convicts or blue acaras, you end up with to many fry.
I feed mine to my other cichlids, i wouldn't feed live fish
from an outside source but when you breed them yourself
at least you know they are disease free.
You could also advertise them in the local paper or put an ad
on the notice board at your lfs. Smile

Thanks. The royal is in almost every pic despite his shyness.
