Newb with fry!

I'm pretty new to fish keeping, I set up my first aquarium in April, I think. Nonetheless, things are going swimmingly. ;)

I recently had my first batch of A. agassizii "Fire Red" fry, and I am a little shocked how many have survived.

I counted 77 in the attached photo, by printing it out and writing a number on each individual, and one got left behind in the 20L. 78 fry seems like a good haul for a first go at it!

Most of the group went into a 40 gallon breeder yesterday. I'm proud as can be and they seem to be doing great. Watching the female care for the fry in the early days was one of the most rewarding experiences of my entire life.

There's also a shot of our lone male in the Discus community tank and a couple poor pics of the proud daddy of this lot. I'm chuffed beyond measure. :D

Congratulations. Also so it to the non-initiated because they don't know what they are missing.
