danval Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 After doing a water change this afternoon I notice my pair had disappeared down a bamboo pipe so I had a look and sure enough there were eggs!. So happy I have a confirmed pair. Will put some pics up of the eggs tonight if they make it that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Awesome! I had some a few years back and they are lovely fish Not only is it good to see them around again- even better that this time they may be here to stay with your efforts- good luck with them.

danval Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Unfortunately the egg numbers have dropped.... Maybe about 20 left... :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Remove the fishies!!!!! This lot HAVE to survive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 There is only mum in there and I doubt the eggs would survive without her as there are numerous small snails in the tank.... Just trying to keep her well fed so she doesn't snack on the rest! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Could be poor fertility for the first go, you have had luck with the agassizi before you might be an apisto whisperer.. lol I hope you have room for more tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 You could be right Ryan about the infertility, but as far as Apisto Whisperer.... And more tanks I need but no more space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Because I can't get my breeding tank yet, I'm just going to put my fish in the community tank and see how they do... They'll be competing against two bristlenoses and a lot of hungry tetras and rasboras. I don't think I'll have much success By the way my fish are arriving today :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 As you said Ryan, they must have been infertile as all gone today.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
