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.

I hope you can see the eggs through the shaky video and horrible glare.

good stuff jeff!

you should drop some meth blue in there to stop the evil fungus angel of egg death

Shouldn't be a need. Nice fish.

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...

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.

Returned home from work toady and mums still attentive nice work mum

jags usually make great parents

but if she changes her mind or isn't happy with the batch... she will eat them...

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.

why don't you syphon out the eggs or the fry and raise them separately?

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

I would leave them. The eggs look good.

Another days past still have eggs that's a plus.

choice. you should add your location in the user control panel. people get anal if you don't.... :lol:

One step closer :happy1:
