Mel Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks everyone .. I have bred afew fish now, but these guys i have been trying to breed for ages. I only just took them out of the discus tank and put them in the hex tank with my new angels, geo & firemouth - to try and get them breeding and it worked - last night I knew something was happening cause the female was in the piece of wood with the male all snuggled up together So YAH I'm so so happy :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYNDYLOO Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thats what I would do Mel, better to move them into another Tank, than to have them eaten :oops: Good Luck :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Nice. My BN's have only spawned twice. First time I didn't even know until I saw the little yolksacks with fry attached. Second time he made it a bit more obvious, sitting on the filter with a clutch of bright yellow eggs. 5 days then another 5 days before they're free swimming Are you sure? Mine just hugged the filter and moved a little for the first two days but were out and about after that. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right there they were wriggling 2 days later now all over the tank - don't trust everything you read from google searches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi all. I've watched my BNs spawn countless times and the routine is always the same. I have a series of pics, one a day, showing the eggs develop Laid Wrigglers Freeswimming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
