just did a water change and found a little baby A. zonalternans!
So happy!
I'm suprised it hadn't got eaten by my weather loach but it's about 1" with a faint black lateral line so i would guess it's about 1 month old?

Nice one Dave, hopefully where ther is one there will be more
I know I only saw one or two for a week or so and then I just seemed to start spotting more and more as they grew in confidence.

Thanks everyone!!
The good news is that he's still alive and kicking. The great news is that i've found another one!
This new one though is minute, probably only 2-3 weeks old looking at Micks babies photos. It's in a breeding net for now so i will get a pic in a couple of days without having to move everything to find him, plus he's way to small, even my young glowlight danios could eat him; i'm surprised he/she's lasted this long. He/she's on a diet of Red Astax Crumb and frozen cyclops now.
It's good to know that they are breeding on a regular(ish) basis.

Hi!
I took this photo on my phone a couple of months ago when i released him into the main tank, about 1" in this photos, saw him last night when doing a water change, grown nicely!
My adult female looks like she's going to burst again!
I bought 2 females and 1 males originally and a few weeks ago i saw two males next to each other, similar size, must have bred when i moved them to the rio 180, i have 5 or 6 now.
cheers,
Dave
