Wow. Awesome.
Yesterday I watched the pair hanging around a plastic plant in the corner of my tank. Thought they'd be spawning there. Today, the female spent ALOT of time cleaning the plant, her tummy was so pink and swollen, oviposter was enlarged. Saw her kinda lay against the leaf a little, both were territorial. Had to go out to dinner, came back and there's a bunch of eggs! Probably between 70 and 100, hard to count!
The male rubbed against them a couple of times that I saw, kinda slid the underside of himself against them. The female guards the eggs, then comes out and gets the male and nudges him until he guards the eggs for a bit, it's awesome to watch!!
Are the eggs fertilized already do you think?
Should I leave them in there or remove them?
If I want to keep the fry and raise them and possibly sell them to my LFS when should I pull them out?
