Noticed that the female turns lighter than the male at this stage. Mine almost turned white! Hi Found this picture of the courting. At this point in the courting my female is as white as I have ever seen her. But she still has lots of gray and brown spots. The males “arrow” is lighter than his body...

One more video of the 1 day old hatched fry from one of the times the parents has laid eggs.

Thanks for your comment. Also I is very happy to finally get the spawning on tape. Next time though, I’ll try to ask the male to move away a little ;-) Rocker: Your female sound to be more ”colorful” than mine. It could be interesting to see if there is a difference in our fry. .-) I have played wit...

Noticed that the female turns lighter than the male at this stage. Mine almost turned white! Is the female bigger than the male? She is a little bigger than the male. (but she also eat more) ;-) Is your female also a little bigger than the mail? My male is also more slim than the female She can tur...

It 2 minutes log and show some of the courting before the eggs is laid at the end of the movie.

Nice place that "youtube".. thanks for giving the link

Hi Just want to say the fry is looking good. And congratulation about the pictures. Wish I could be as lucky as you. :-) If I should say some advise, it would be that you should start to feed the fry other food also and not only brine shrimp. I don’t think they will keep eating brine shrimp. It is m...

Hi Finally I got the Tetraodon Suvattii (Arrowhead puffer) spawning on video camera. I have been so close but missed it a couple of times, so I was beginning to think if I ever would see how it happens. So fare I have quickly made 1 picture from the video. Ill try to attach is or it can be seen here...

This is where my experience differs from that of DR Ebert. He states that after only a week they are onto bigger foods like bloodworm. At 17 days they are still unable to anything other than BBS A comment about food and the age of the fry. The growth of the fry is depending on how much food the fry...

I’m sorry to hear that. Can you see if the fry has been bidden? (I did observe some harmful behavior among the fry from very early on). How many is left? I know it is not of any help, but when the parents first have a good place to lay the eggs, they seems to just keep on going, so I will guess you ...

Hi Hope the feeding is going well. Yes? I think getting enough right food that the fry will eat is the biggest challenge in raising Suvattii fry. I made a small video showing how I now can feed frozen red mosquito larva. Hope it can give some inspiration. The fry on the video is 49 days old. Link: h...

“Busting in”… laughing, thanks.
-and p.s. I also think this forum is great.

Hehe… Pictures sometimes say more than words. I am happy and thankful for the help I have got, and it is a good feeling if I can help as well or give some help back. So it’s great if my pictures help. After all it is to the benefit of the fish. :-) A question: My pair has laid eggs 5-6 times (I thin...

Congratulation. :-) I have Suvattii fry now that is about 1,5 month old. Great little hungry ones. :) The feeding has been ok, but a lot of work. This is a quick guide of what I have done to raise the fry. Maybe it can be of some help. I started mine on artemia. Made a saltwater aquarium and just to...
