Well I finally got some eggs from these guys. Just now hoping they are fertile.

I really wasn't expecting anything once again, just was looking in the tank and found a couple of clumps of eggs. Spawning triggers would have been; moved to new tank (4-6 degrees cooler) at 78 now. They are the only species in there other then a group of 6 red hooks.

I also did make daily water changes of 50-25% for 5 days.

They seem to be swimming around MUCH more in their new home, I really don't believe they were all that happy with 82-84 temp range. Foods have been strictly from kensfish.com being mainly earthworm sticks and 'meat & spirulina waffers'. No live foods, very very infrequently frozen foods which would have been bloodworm and mysis.

Will report more tomorrow when hopefully I can see if they are fertile.

Well one of my 3 batches hatched sometime today and they escaped thru the breeder trap they where in and got gobbled up by the other fish in the tank. CRAP. So I moved the other 2 clumps of eggs into a 3 gallon tank of their own. Hoping they hatch in a couple days.

Bad news Iam down to 5 fry

I made the mistake of thinking that they could compete with the 10 or so fry from my gymnogeophagus that i put in with them, as I didn't have a tank ready for all the spawning that is happening here

I have fry from 7 different species on the go right now and need to Set up MORE tanks

The wife is going to kill me LOL

Next time they get there own tank
