Bananalobster Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I can't see into their pot but I am pretty sure my pair have laid eggs.. I can see the females egg tube and they are taking turns guarding / patrolling the cave! I only got them last week so this is very exciting When will they hatch? Il have to take a trip down to the lfs and pick up some baby food. Do the parents chew food up and spit it over the fry? As that would be neat to see too hehe. This is my first time getting egg layers to spawn so any advise would be awesome 8) I know I shouldnt be holding out too much hope of their first spawn surviving but its just so hard not to! :bounce: :Edit: Eggs confirmed, about 100 or so I think, had to squeeze my head round the corner of the tank to see lol so hard to say how many. So funny to see the girl bossing the guy into their cave so she can go have a swim round, seem to be doing an okay job so far no signs of them eating them as yet they are still taking turns fanning the eggs but the female probably does the most part. From what I have read that seems to be the norm. Anybody else have past experiences with these guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananalobster Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm pretty sure they have eaten them now.. Day 3 today and they are swimming round the tank as normal again. Ah well maybe next time aye? Anybody know about how long before they will try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
