You have a fish shop that buys fish?? Must be nice! Im interested to see how long the female will stay interested in the fry with no other fish in the tank. Keep us updated! :)

Sorry for not replying sooner, just been busy.
The fry are well, lost a couple but the rest seem fine.
I have just transferred the trio and the fry into a 4ft, more to give the fry a bit more room and the male was farily beating up on the single female, especialy when she was laying eggs and eating them the next day.

Need to see how they get on with the male, though at least the bullying is spread over the two females now.

Those pics bring back memories! Thanks for posting them. Glad to hear all is well. I've spent most of my time watching my honduran red points raise their fry. They are in a 125 gallon community and I cant get enough of mom and dad defending the school. Ah, the joys of fishkeeping. :)

Well done. I know that filamentosa are not an easy fish to breed. My friend bred them a few years ago using de-ionised water. He removed the male after spawning as it was a small tank.
