It's been about 5 weeks since the first PS hatch, I shut off the fountain and in the bright sunshine I could see the fry swimming around. The adults didn't bother them, probably cause their so well fed.
I scooped up about 3 dozen to put in the 10 gal tank but first I had to take out my pet GSH and put him in the mini pond.
The fry are 1/2" and smaller and still plenty of them in the mini pond. I'll keep a couple dozen of the largest offspring that I get by the end of sept. and see if any grow bigger than their parents. The adults ranged from 7 to 8 1/2 inches.
