oops i thought my blue gouramies hatch after three days for some reason . they started shootin around in the last few hours . sure enough the net survey says! thirty hours exactly what i just calculated. thanks for the congrats this really is fun . i plan to bap them in two months . next saturday il be bapn my eleven week old blue paradise that i spawned in my 180 with the rest of my fish utilizing a piece of fiberglass door screen as a divider . the parents spawned four batches back to back that are doing well the fifth batch just has a few scragelers because the older ones were big enough to munch on fresh fry. il have photos as soon as i get my own camera .
