Did the eggs grew into frys?

Did you seperate the parents. They may kill each other and eat all the eggs.

Their bite isn't fatal :sgrin: :icon16: don't worry bro. 9 inches fish is not very big-you can handle it. Just get big enough net and a brave heart :p :sgrin:

Too many

what other pets do you have?

Currently I still have birds, turtle, FR fish, SW corals, and supposingly some ferrets and hamspters but I turned them away.

Used to have dogs, cats, rats(not really-they just happen to be in the club where I used to work) and .......

My friend usually ask me to toilet train their dogs and many of the times, my girl friend's buddy bought in stray cat babies.

I like to see your Frontosa

I have a baby frontosa now, in my community tank. Nice bright blue coloration, too.

Post the pic when you can

Also any of you guys knows how to make an orange cichlids really orange. Mine get lighter coloration than when they come from the LFS. All other fish in the same tank are very colorful though so I guess I am just missing one trace elements in the diet.

I'll get a pic when I can catch him out. He likes to hide in the logs, still very young. I got him at 1/2" now he's about 1-1/2". They grow very slowly, unlike the flowerhorn!

lol thats a diverse assortment of critters. "dogs cat and rats" sound like the typical club scene in NY :smoker: :icon16:

i am slave to: 2 maltese (1 refuses to be poop trained!), 2 odd-eyed white persians, a domestic bengal cat, a pair of pacific parrotlets(BlueXGreen), a pair of zebra finches(FloridaFancyXPied) a fw tank and a sw tank.... that's "all" now thank God, that's enough pooper-scooping to say the least! anything else i add will have to stay outside year round, like the fish pond (just feeder goldfish, no koi -- isn't it amazing how many racoons are still all over the place?) last week when it was much warmer i spotted a leopard frog in the pond, from last years tadpoles. its amazing how they can overwinter outdoors in THIS type of crazy up down weather, the poor things....
i wonder if snakeheads would survive outdoors like goldfish???

i USED to have lots of exotic critters but NYC is no longer exotic-friendly and i guess rightfully so, so i traded away the parrots, toucans, spider tortoise, and pygmy marmosets a few yrs ago :( manhattan (ie local legislation, bloomberg, pataki) really wants people to stick to aquaria, small birds, and domestic dogs and cats, that's it.
