Incredible parental behavior! 😳🐠

​A lot of people think the parents are eating the babies when they do this, but watch closely! The fry are just starting to swim away, and this first-time Red Devil Koi dad is gently scooping them up and spitting them right back onto the breeding cone to keep everyone safe. He is doing a fantastic job! 😤

My heart completely dropped this morning! 😳🐠

​I came into the fish room and saw that the breeding cone was totally empty. But when I looked closer at the bottom of the tank, I spotted them—we have wigglers!

​It is both the parents' first time and my first time caring for angelfish fry, so I am heading into uncharted territory. If any experienced breeders have tips or tricks for getting these guys past the wiggler stage, let me know in the comments! 😤

We officially have eggs! 🥚🐠

Only one week after moving this Red Devil Koi pair into their own tank, they successfully laid their clutch right on the breeding cone. I am incredibly excited to see this project officially taking off. Fingers crossed for some wigglers soon! 😤

Did we just get a breeding pair?! 👀🐠

​I noticed these two Red Devil Koi spending a lot of time together, cleaning off a flat spot, and defending their territory. Those are classic breeding signs! I decided to move them into their own tank so they have a safe space to spawn. Fingers crossed we see some eggs soon! 😤

15 weeks old and looking amazing! 📈

​At almost four months old, these Super Red BNP fry are absolutely thriving in the 10-gallon tank. Both batches are putting on serious size, and that solid orange color is glowing. 😤

Wait for the bite... 🎮🐠

​Our Red Devil Koi pair looking like they belong in a video game! Had some fun editing this transition today. If the fish room was a video game, which project are you picking as your main character? 😤

Massive new fish reveal! 🐠🔥

​I have been eyeing these for months and actually kept them a secret in the fish room for a little over a month now! I am incredibly excited to finally show off this stunning group of Red Devil Koi Angelfish. The red and orange coloration on these guys is already looking amazing. This is going to be a major new project for DFM Aquatics! 😤

13 weeks old and looking amazing! 📈

​These Super Red BNP fry are officially past the three-month mark and are absolutely thriving in the upgraded 10-gallon tank. Both batches are growing fast, their solid orange color is totally locked in, and they are super active. 😤

Tank upgrade! 📈

​We officially moved the Super Red fry from the 5-gallon into a brand new 10-gallon grow-out tank. Even better, I just moved the second batch in with them, so we now have two massive clutches growing out together in the extra space! 😤

11 weeks old and looking amazing! 📈

​At almost three months old, the solid bright orange color on these Super Red BNP fry is absolutely stunning. They are eating non-stop, putting on serious size, and getting so close to being ready for new homes. 😤
