RIP Dear nan 22/03/1925 --11/03/2009
SPAWNED 24/07 - HATCHED 25/07
The tank
60 litre tank divided in 2 - approx 15 litre and 45 litre - water depth lowered to approx 5 inches
Temp 30-32 degrees
ph 7
In the 15 litre section is the heater and filter usually there is a tube allowing the water to circulate completely around the tank but now i'm breeding the tube is removed and the filter is still running for the moment
I placed a bit of bubble wrap in the tank so Beefa could build a nest , i used a feeding ring to hold the bubble wrap in place just in case when i was catching Tart i accidently knocked the bubble wrap and wrecked the nest
Beefa
Tart
The Wrap 24/07 - they were wrapping from before 10.30 am and ended at 16.20 - by which time both were knackered
The nest and Eggs - 24/07 first layed
He has now moved the nest out side of the bubble wrap weighted by the feeding ring
UPDATE
Today at 6pm - 25/07 -- 26 hours after spawning ended i noticed fry - daddy is doing a very good job trying to keep them under control
