First Pure ( big spot) Black Diamond SA bred pups!!

For those that remember or Know Polkadot.... She arrived in SA as a tiny baby who almost didnt make it about 3 years ago

Little Madam about two months after she arrived and had pulled through the sleepless nights she gave us




And this is her now..





And finally.. after a long, long wait...

Watch the bumps carefully where the circle is and the circle at end of the 'bone" shape is on the bumps..
Here is very visible from about half way onwards

From my calculations.. give ot take.. probably another month to go

Just praying all goes well

 

@MariaS congrats and all he best. I am sure all will go well with the special care your fish receive from you.

 

Thank you...

 

Those rays look beautiful but scare me also, . Wish her the best.

 

very cool - so by your calculation, when your starting to build your next BIG tank for the pups ?

Later Ferdie

 

Awesome @MariaS. I have to ask the same question as Ferdie. Which room are you clearing for the new tank?

Thank you @Whoknows ..

 

@BradK ... Thank you....

No need to be scared of them so long as you respect them...
Hahha im more scared of my neighbour's dog than my rays...

 

Wow that's one beautiful fish Maria. All the best with the pups.

 

Thanks Ferdie... Pup tan is set up and running from the last litter.
Didnt take it down, just keep a few fish in it to keep it ready all the time
My baby aro is growing out there but she is no threat to the pups

i might upgrade the pup tank at later stage for the aro but it will then be the pup tank as well

Thanks @pierreschoonraad ..

Hahha .. Im not sure!!
I might have to join you guys with a fish room.!!

 

Thanks @Reedfish ..
