Ruby green hap

[Kaia]

So 2 of my girls just released babies 6 days ago and now 1 of the females is holding again? I thought they'd have a month before they would be ready again? Shes thin already!

A lot of haps will breed frequently and have large broods if you take care of them.  Congrats!

[Kaia]

No no! Not congrats lol... I'm afraid she is going to breed herself to death? It's only been 6 days?

[Marty]

If you're concerned, strip the eggs from her mouth now so she can eat and recover.

You can always use an egg tumbler, the female won't get as thin or weak and you can put her right back in the tank so she won't lose her spot in the pecking order.

I usually put my females in a mesh net for 10 days and make sure they are eating well before I release them into the tank.  This way I know they have eaten and rested before the male starts to harass them again.

How's the Ruby Green Fry doing?

[Kaia]

They are great! At about an inch now.

That's great !!!
Looking at the pic, their eyes look red.  They're not albino are they?

[Kaia]

They are not red, hard to get a good pic because they are quick. I think it was just a reflection of light.

My fish won't stop and smile for the camera either.

They look washed out and white in the photos but they're actually grey...

They are getting to the size that the dominant male will start to show some color.

We got real lucky when we had troubles and lost our Ruby Greens... the fry that survived were 1 male and 3 females.  Hoping they "hook up" and we can get some more.

Is that a wise move - in-breeding ?
