Breeding Project: White Cloud Mountain Minnow
Breeding Project: Cherry Barb

Alright. So this breeding project has been brought to a temporary halt currently simply because the male White Cloud Mountain Minnow has died from old age and a weak immune system after the washing. The female, however, is doing fine and still kicking - great news for a pretty old fish! Although I know I'm supposed to use much younger fish when breeding, I will be sure to pick up some more younger specimens upon the next time I visit a store with a healthy stock of these fish and be sure to purchase a small shoal instead of just 1 more male.

Also, the breeding project set up for the Cherry Barbs have also been put to a temporary halt due to the fact that during the transfer from the 10 gallon back to the 55 gallon, the female died from stress while the male and the other community fish survived. However, due to the fact that I was most likely going through about 3 different species before coming to the Cherry Barbs. So by the time that its the Cherry Barb's turn to breed, I would have already bought another female and possibly another small shoal considering it is better breeding that way sometimes.
