To say it’s been a successful week in the fish room would be an understatement! Yesterday my Black Schultzei’s (Black Venezuelans) spawned for the first time! The eggs in the video were just the first round, I pulled those and an hour later there were even more eggs on the glass! Best estimate is 150-200 eggs!! This weeks goal is to get a spawn out of the Orange Lasers cw010, since it’s been 6-8 months. And to start getting my auto water change system set up (if the fish let me)!

Nice batch of CPD (Celestial Pear Danio/ Galaxy Rasbora) fry graduating to the grow out tank from the fry tray tonight to make room for the Duplicareus that will be hatching tomorrow!

Pseudomugil Furcatus commonly known as the Forktail Rainbowfish. They are quickly becoming one of my favorite fish! Very active and not one bit shy! This breeding colony is turning out to be quite prolific breeders and I’ve got some eggs waiting to hatch! Pseudomugil eggs take around 14 days +/- so it a game a patience! Stay tuned for fry updates! Also sharing the tank are my potential CW217 hold backs and man are baby Cory’s cute! Still have plenty in the grow out tank looking for new homes so shoot me a dm if you’re interested!

Successful night in the fishroom!! My Hoplisoma Duplicareum (Duplicareus Cory’s) have spawned for the first time in 18 months!! Got 31 eggs which for them is prettt good! While they are a smaller Cory species they lay bigger eggs than any of my other species!

Also pulled quite a few Pseudomugil Furcatus (Forktail rainbow), CPD, and giant Ramshorn snail eggs. Not sure what’s in the water but I’m not complaining!

That’s a wrap! Another successful Des Moines fish swap in the books! Thank you to my wonderful wife for helping with the booth, and bagging, and my oldest daughter for bagging up almost all of the snails! Thank you Forrest Martinson as always for organizing these awesome events and, all of the other vendors that help make it what it is. Most of all thank you to all of the patrons that come and support us! Without you guys we couldn’t do what we love to do!
