Title: 10g CPD tank
Post by: bettabreeder on February 07, 2012, 04:33:37 PM
Well I think I've finally got the tank set up the way I wanted it to look... Right now I have an abundance of cherry shrimp and 6 celestial pearl danios. Hoping that the danios spawn in the future because they are truly stunning little guys. (https://www.ovas.ca/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fb8916816-9886-6955.jpg&hash=b3d6e17a49552f089c5ec99fb50ef35ecdfc07f5) sorry for the little black dots clogging the photo. They are from an old case and got on the inside of the lense.

Well this morning I was changing a few things around in my tank and lo and behold..... CPD FRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited to see two little guys swimming around in the tank. They are roughly a quarter of an inch long and look to be on the prowl for food. More updates to come!
