Fish Folk Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Our first CARES species fry! Xenotoca doadrioi. Started with breeding group of 8x. Fry has interesting umbilical-like appendage. Pretty big, but kind of clumsy at first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Congrats on the new fry! Pretty soon you'll have so many showing up you'll only be able to tell that they are new when you see the trophotaenia still attached. These guys are going into a 40 breeder soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing! “Trophotaenia” so that’s what it’s called 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Fish Den Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Congratulations! It's great to reproduce fish that are on the CARES list. Does your local club give extra BAP points for the CARES fish, in my club you get a few extra for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! The BAP at our club (PVAS - Potomac Valley Aquarium Society) actually is heavily oriented towards CARES. They do give a lot of points for these! We’ve got some really awesome aquarists in our club. These come from one guy, John Mangan, who got the original stock at the 2014 American Livebearer Association Convention. They were stock collected and imported by the North American Goodeid Working Group for the convention. Source info is “Etzatlan, Ameca / Magdelana basin.” Edited January 8, 2021 by Fish Folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
