Big Grumpies Spawn Log - Giants Pair

[Gill]

I have set up Big Grumpy Purple with the Female. In a 5 Long.
Loads of Java Moss and IAL.
He is not very interested ATM so will leave them alone for a few days and if he builds a big enough nest will release her.
Fed them both Bloodworms this morning to help them both.

I really Like Grumpy Purple.
He is a Real Monster and Loves the Baby Mollies i have been feeding him.
Thanks, I am in the DogHouse though.
My Wife found the Western Union Receipt for them. And is holding me to ransom, so today we went lipstick shopping.
Thank God for 3for2 Offers @ Boots.

He has been Very Busy Today
He has built a Thick Nest under the Styrofoam Cup.
Can't Wait - I thought he was going to be a Dud but he has suprised me.

Lookin good Gill, can't wait to hear the outcome

 

[Gill]

Was just about to feed them some cooked prawns and they were Wrapping.
There are loads of eggs on the bottom of the tank but can't se any in the nest.
He is eating them as they come out of her and ignoring the fallen eggs.
Hope he gets his act together and puts them in the nest.
If not i will have to use a pippette and put them in myself.

 

[Gill]

Phew Thank the Lord All is well.

Went downstairs to get some pix and he is putting the eggs in the nest Very Slowly as well as the Wife.
The water is Very Brown with IAL as this is how they were raised.

(As recommended by Surat-Ram_91)

Will Leave them alone for now and check back in the evening. If they have finished with take her out.



Her Dancing for him – She was Very Rough with him. Head Butting him and pushing him around until he would wrap with her.

Took her out last night and gave her some prawns and mollies to munch on. Not even phased in the slightest. was flaring away @ the Combtail Giant. Hussy . Should not take her long to fill with eggs again then.

Grumpy has been very good during the night. He has colelcted all teh eggs and put them in the nest and comes to the front to see who is coming near them.
He is being the dutiful dad and keeps checking the eggs every so often.
