NzlJB Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hi everyone !! Thought I'd introduce myself by sharing my latest spawn , My young jags have just spawned for the fist time i wasn't there to catch the action just the end. The male has now retreated and female is happy fanning eggs looks like a good haul for such a young pair too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkbMXBMJ ... e=youtu.be I hope you can see the eggs through the shaky video and horrible glare.

disgustipated Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 i'm just saying cause recently i lost about 50% of my jag eggs to the furry white plague, apparently because i didn't use meth blue. i was hoping to combat it with daily water changes but alas...

alanmin4304 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Methylene blue is useful to slow the spread of fungus on infertile eggs when the eggs have been removed from from the parents or vickyvocky. The parents usually clean the eggs and remove the infertile ones if they are looking after them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgustipated Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 jags usually make great parents but if she changes her mind or isn't happy with the batch... she will eat them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NzlJB Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yip have had many spawns disappear overnight and this being there first spawn I'm really not expecting them to make it past wriggling stage I'm just happy they didn't kill each other trying lol. Had to separate them for about a week while she healed up after he try to get her to spawn about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 why don't you syphon out the eggs or the fry and raise them separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NzlJB Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'd would rather do as Ive done with all my other pairs I leave them too it and eventually they get the hang of it normally only takes a couple of tries. I always find it more enjoyable watching them doing all the work Besides there's already fry in my grow out tank and they would just have breakfast lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
