Due to my mistakenly purchasing a female Butterfy Ciclid (aka a Ram) a week-and-a-half ago, we now have about 100 to 150 eggs hatching in our aquarium.

Here’s the proud Papa, guarding the clutch.

And here’s a picture of the eggs at 48 hours old, when some of the fry are already starting to extend their tails and wiggle.  (The white ones have gone ‘bad’, the developing ones are a yellow-grey color, with a dark speck in them.)  

So, step on up and show us your “spawn.”

Fry photos, at 84 hours old. Look for the two eye spots. I see about 10 baby Rams in this picture.
