Man, I used to take soooooo many pictures of fry.  Had to scroll way back on the camera roll to find a lot of these. Need to get back to taking more pictures.

That’s exactly what I thought. Water change day so they all show up. I was taking pictures to send the girl that retails all my kids so she has a preliminary of what’s on the menu for the next swap. 
 

Gorgeous babies. I think you need 2-3 hundred more panda angels 🤣

[Andrew Puhr]

I have fry currently but none are as unique as my axolotl fry I have right now! He is a wild morph.

Coming right up! Those are my bread and butter for credit at the LFS. Normally, I brush off a good chunk of the eggs and just hatch a small portion of the spawn. 
 

Last time I hatched I threw the whole slate in there. I panicked a bit at first, but it has actually worked out pretty well in that spawn has allowed me to sell 20 at a time all summer long. It has carried me through the summer as hatching/water changing/feeding fry just wasn’t in the cards as I was too busy with work, but I could keep growing out the Angels and selling them off 20 at a time!

That is incredible!  I adore axolotl in others tanks. I’m no where near brave enough to try and keep them.

Here are my humble submissions.

the one "fry" i have right now. Albino Cory. Not quite the fry anymore, but very small and i consider him a fry based on care. He has a odd spine defect and that seems to have affected his growth so he is alone in the breeder box:

Here’s a shot from yesterday where I’ve got an older fry (one of the best marked, too) that hatched on July 18 with a photo bomb by one of the younger fry (hatched on August 23) that I didn’t even realize I’d captured until I did my edit to prevent the pic from flipping around.  The older clutch is just now reaching 1-1.25”, the younger clutch is about 5/8” now.

 

Second pic is back farther with a fry from each clutch while the younger ones were fresh hatched and still in the cave and an older one went back to visit.

 

Next pics are the blue eyed lemons (and a photo bomb oto) after a scare and near disaster.  Had a tank crash from a ramshorn snail that got stuck in the top of a sponge filter and died and triggered a big snail die off.  Weird that it was ramshorns that died off and not fish, but very lucky for me.  Found them barely in time and saved almost the entire clutch and all of the otos that were also in that tank along with my adult Rio Paraguays that were in that tank.  Lost only 4 of the smallest babies.  Sad, but so incredibly lucky I didn’t lose more.  Just scooped up fish as fast as I could and plopped into the tank above.

I was planning on moving some of them the next day because I knew it was a crowd and overdue for an extra deep cleaning anyway.  Made me almost 2 hours late for work transferring everybody since feeding and checking on everybody was the last thing to do before leaving for work that day.  They were pretty pale still the next day when I got this pic but are looking much better now.  Luckily I already had the tank ready where they were going to go to split them up.

I was planning to eventually replace that whole tank since it’s one of my geriatric tanks and getting potentially suspect seals, plus I wanted to switch from sand bottom to matten over UGF.  Already had the UGF and a replacement tank purchased.  Just moved up my timeline on replacing it.  🤷🏻‍♀️

I have definitely been the most afraid of keeping this guy than any other fish I have kept. I am feeding him live baby brine 3x a day. He started smaller than a grain of rice and now he is probably almost tripled in size. I have a juvenile and an adult as well they are a lot of fun to have.

Only way to get these guys is a video. My 4 whitecloud fry have been accepted by the parent school. Did the gobies attempt to eat them? Most definitely. You can see Frog poking his head out in the background.

I love when I see their little frog faces peeking out of cracks 🥰

[PineSong]

Sob! I don't have any fry and no plans for more at this time. I love seeing others' and am so impressed by everyone's babies--those teeny panda angels are the cutest things I've seen in a long time.

they are a bit hard to see but here's some boesemani rainbows

It takes me four to five weeks of heavy feeding to get the fry to this size to be able to add them to the parent tank after that i have to feed way less cause the parents are fat and the fry grows way way slower. Do you have the same experience ? I also grow them out at 25 degrees while parents are at 21 🙂

My fry were 9-10 weeks before they could go in with the parents. I was worried about predation by the tank mates if they were too small. 
 

They lived in the sump with the snails and shrimp. It’s heavily planted and I would just feed them once a week. The rest they hunted. Which also might have contributed to slower growth rate.

Laetacara dorsigera fry. 
 

I thought they ate the eggs. I even told @dasaltemelosguy they ate them. They dug multiple holes and were frantically back and forth. I thought they were looking for the ones they ate. These hatched fast. This is the fourth hole they dug and moved them to. Being good parents so far 🤞🏻

@Elodie Rose wanted to rehome her CPD last week of September so I adopted them. Last night I saw a handful of fry scooting about. Appear to be a few weeks old 🥰

 

[Elodie Rose]

Omg congrats!! They really needed just the environment you gave them! Those babies are the cutest 🥰.

Here is my first batch of fry I ever hatched around the 4th of October. I have my male fanning another batch.

BN pleco babies are so adorable. Congratulations 🎊 

I love the multi shaped caves. 

[Aguinaga]

Thank you @Guppysnail, I wanted to get a good mix. It’s simple but this is the set I have for the BN parents. I know I don’t have it 2 females to 1 male. It’s 2 and 2. One older pair and a younger pair. I might separate them though so I don’t float my house with BN fry, and or over work my male and kill him.

Tiny fry are not afraid in the Endler's tank. 🙂

[Zeaqua]

Love your spilotus! Thinking of getting some eventually. I too have some Pygmies, as well as some future fry - a clutch of standard bristlenose.
