I think one of my Yellow Labs is holding. Its mouth looks like its got something inside it and when i tried feeding she goes after the food but does not actually eat it. She is just over 2 inches, is this possible? :Help!:

Yes, it is possible. Good Job I have one about that size holding right now too.

Sure sounds like she's holding, geelite! Congratulations!

Don't be discouraged if she doesn't hold to term this first time! Sometimes it takes a couple of practice rounds to get it right! Many of my best moms have been my smallest moms, though!

Cool, thanx for the info ladies. I am excited and worried at the same time worry wart! Bouncy ...and yes i do remember you mentioning that about the first timers somewhere on CH Kim.

Congrats to you too Aura.

I think its something to do with the Eclipse that so many of our fish here on CH are getting h*rny and breeding blinky

Maybe it was the eclipse. I also have three demasoni holding and a red empress as well. Hmmmm

This morning when I turned on the light to my saulosi tank, I saw a bunch of eggs falling to the bottom. I guess somebody wanted breakfast more than she wanted to hold those eggs.

That's fine with me though. I don't want any more fry - I am out of room.

Good luck with yours, geelite. I hope she will hold for you. Like Kim said, those little moms can do a fine job.

Congrats Geelite!

It must be the eclipse I've got a ps. elongatus chaloisi holding for the first time also.

Congrats to you too Dave!

Hey Aura, I know somebody who would love to take some
of those saulosi off your hands...


ME!

Congrats to all of you that have holding fish.

When I start breeding again with Calvus or Comps.....an Eclipse it is. Good Job

Geelite,,,any pics of "mom"?

By the way,,,,,love your new avatar.

Thanx my friend.

I will post a pix soon, dont expect a good pic cause my camera is poop!

I got one not so bad pic for now, my tank lights just went off so i'll try again tomorrow. The other fish make it more difficult for me to take a pic, they keep s w i m m i n g and posing in front of my shot Grrrr



Ok i just viewed the pic and i guess its not even close to ok blinky

Nothing wrong with the pic. peek a boo

Hell yeah,,,now thats a mouthful.

Do you have a fry tank,,or you letting her spit in that one.

I have a 55G behind the main tank, its housing a very mean crazy fish in there who has been cycling my tank. Dont know what its called, i caught it from this swamp place near my house. These guys even stay alive in a reef tank.

I have had plans to connect my 55 to my main tank, but i cant do that until i get my shipment from the US and UK.

Holding Lab pic two.

Looks like a mouthfull!
