Well, last night I noticed my pair of HRPs hiding in the cave. The male had his breeding tude out all the way and so did the female and I got a flashlight and saw eggs and the pair stll laying so, today I have roughly 150 eggs in the cave. I did a 25% change with warmer water to boost up the eggs growth. I'm gonna have to remove the Danio if I get fry.

Cool, soon you will have tons of fry...possible food for your pond fish!

Problem with them in the pond. If I release them in summer, the pond gets about 70-80 degrees on a 90 degree day, so that's gonna cause probs. I might set-up some breeding tubs outside during the summer. I need some of the big 20-30 gallon tubs, that'll be kinda easy if I go to the dollar store and goodwill. Next thursday, I'm looking for some useful things in trash cause next Friday is trashday and my papa found some perfect blinds and a fairly new Vaccum once.

Well one persons trash is another persons treasure! You will want to pull the fry at about an inch or 1.25 inches.

Why 1-1.5 inches? Will the pair see them as a threat at that size?

The parents will stop caring for them about that size.

Ohh, I see. Is that also a good time to sell them?

Yep 1.25-1.5 inches is good selling size!
