CatBrat Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yay!!! I just went out to feed my fish and found a nice sized spawn from my Brown Tiger Whiptails. This is my first Whiptail spawn, so hopefully it will go well. I know whiptail babies are generally hard to raise, but I will have to see what I can manage with rasing the bubba's. I didn't really do anything to trigger the spawn, just a cold water change on the weekend with fresh rain water, and that was it. I will try to get some pic's tommorow. Cheers, CatBrat. *edit:* Whoops got them name wrong, they are BROWN Tiger's not white tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatBrat Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Finally got my camera back, so I can post an update. I missed a few days in the middle grrrrrr (I shouldn't leave my camera places when I need it! DOH!), but here they are anyway... Day 3: you can start to see the fry developing inside the eggs... Missed the next few days, but the eggs continued to develop weel and became a lot darker brown. Then 30mins ago my first baby Whiptail!! YAY!... Cheers, CatBrat.
