Dixon1990 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I have a group of 8 Nannostomus Eques(did have 11 ) Have just noticed a female and a male dancing around the plants in the top of my community tank. I have a 30L tank setup with A heap of java moss in it in the bottom of my cabinet. Are the eggs light sensitive, what parameters will they spawn in? And What can i do to trigger spawning? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
