And he dont longer looks like a punk rocker... I think it would be a good idea of you putting together the pictures to one showing the development in the fry, like Jools said... this can be a key for a new family "Havardiencis" ;)

Uno is now an older brother :mrgreen:
On Tuesday 155 eggs were laid. On Saturday I lost 20. (They turned white) On Sunday I lost 2 (turned white). Monday I lost 20 due to leakage and premature hatching, an Tuesday(today) I lost 31 due to leakage. The total number of healthy hatch-lings today are 82.
Cheers:)

Fantastic Haavard, well done! Hope they all turn out to be as handsome as Uno. (But a little less troublesome to raise maybe!)

You see, I told you they will breed again and than again ;) Can you provide me with the correct water parameters... everything, and I will try to explain for you why the eggs leakage and or are to early hatched. I have had that problem a few times too and it's always the water (me to lacy not keeping the water on top).

man haarvard you the man!!! Its so amazing looking thru this thread from front to back, its like a mini novel and its truly amazing pictures and fine detail you give is just incredible, I learned so much in last hour reading this, I feel as if I owe you something in return :thumbsup: But uno is got to be the most popular talked about lil guy on this site right now and I would keep him for a momento not to mention first f1 to survive in captivity~~!!! I hope you get more spawns and able to get a future breeeding colony down the road, I didnt even know of the L082 until now and they are gorgeous.. I dont even think its possible to get them now? I never seen any forsale.. but goodjob keep us updated and posted.. I love all your fish and tank setups, you truly have a great passion for this hobby and it is a priveldge to read your in depth posts and instructions on raising and successfully breeding these diff types of species.

That would be super. I will do some measurements of ph, conductivity, gh and nitrate, but I will have to find me equipment first. I rarely do tests.

Today I am down to around 60 frys as I removed all the ones with visible problems. I left a single pair of siamese twins. They are much smaller than the other ones and seem to be joined in the abdominal area. If possible I will raise them.

It happens sometimes but is quite uncommon, I head one fry with 2 heads (4 eyes and 2 mouths) that survived for a couple of months maybe reached 2,5-3 cm before it died.

It may be right now, but I would guess that pic-of-the-thread will be when there are a whole bunch of these guys feeding in a grow-out tank.

Haavard: Great work in keeping the water/fish in good condition and getting the spawn.
