 I spooked her while taking the pics though and she darted and bumped herself in the tank number of times  I hope it's nothing serious.

Nice pair u have got there........
But I would have thought MP should be more orangy pink rather than so red. Anyway, would u mind telling what % of the fries turn out to be like the parents ?

Welcome Yoda!
Nice and clean melons you have there! Have you been feeding these melons with TetxxBxtx? The reason I'm asking is because my melon also looks similar to yours...i almost would call it a "Red Diamond" Anyways, good luck with the fries! See ya around!

 ). I didn't use the flash because it reflects off the glass and gives weird shadows on the pic.I'm not sure if it's true for all MP's but I like the color (and the shape) of the female better. I'll give an update in about 2 months how the fry turn out. Water here is hard. I followed the advise of a hobbyist/breeder to just put rock salt to make the water soft. I forgot he lives in a another city. Out of 228 eggs, about 3-5 turned white, and about 2.5 to 3 dozen hatched. The dad practiced on two-thirds (first successful hatch for the pair, although mom looked like a pro already). There's less than a dozen that survived and hopefully make it. I'm assembling the R/O unit this weekend. Quote:
I'll see what I can do with the pics with Photoshop. If it doesn't work, I take more pics. Last edited by Yoda : 24-11-2005 at 12:58 AM.

i oso got melon/marlboro to show. not as red as yoda...but they already producing fries at second spawn, cute hor. this is a male with no color enhancer fed. the female in the next tank recuperating, once fries is big enuff to be separated the female will go back in again...hehe
whoopee, the last spawn your melon also got fries but not much. about 15 to 20...i didn't bother bcoz not much fries...waiting for the next spawn. i finally got a productive partner for your melon.. Last edited by roadspike : 24-11-2005 at 10:21 AM.

Good for you man, Spiky!
Glad that you have finally found a working male melon for the female....here goes a starting point for future mass production! It's better for you to feed those fry with baby brine shrimp/artemia, instead of daphnia though.  Keep us posted here with the fry development! Cheers!
