    Okay, here they are vanessa.

    Some rock flower babies. Very healthy batch this year. Last year they were born at 1 mm in size. Had close to 100 at one point but very low survival rate.

    This batch, the babies around 4-5 mm and i have about 70, maybe even more.

    In one photo you can see the female spitting them out. She has them all lined up.

    Lots of color variations. I will take more pics as they get bigger. 20180224_102341.jpg 20180227_131658.jpg 20180223_182153.jpg

    Once they get large enough they will be available for sale. At the current time, they are only about to hit the size of a dime. I'm waiting till they are about the size of a quarter which may be a few more months.

    Looks like you need one of the babies too ... i just have 1. I have a rainbow bubble tip that has split but only once. I’m still waiting for another split. I’m too scared to try to frag them!

    They will range from $10 to as high as $70.

    Rainbows being in the $50-$70 range.

    It will still be a bit before they are available. I will try to sell them before I take the tank down in fall though. I may have other stuff for sale at that time as well so for those who are interested in a lot of stuff, I can always price bundle. It will most likely be some higher end stuff.

    Better rock work. If they stay in the sand bed, the clean up crew buries them. I did lose several this batch to snails again. In my new tank, I plan to go pure sand and flatter rock work.
