You should have eggs by this time tommorow.

 

[foley69]

hopefully what are you doing with your fry i havent got another spare tank to put them in i might get a tank divider

 

[kribensis12]

Well, im selling the parents as soon as the fry are big enough to seperate from the parents.

 

[foley69]

yea i mght do that then get maybe some tbars's and breed them

 

[kribensis12]

Yeah, there are enough fry in this batch, that i dont want the cons to breed again.

 

[foley69]

[kribensis12]

[foley69]

couldnt agree more though this time the eggs were dud hopefully next time

I woke up this morning to find my female, with almost all color gone, in the top corner of the tank. The male has banished her. I am moving both them to a 20g tank tonight or tommorow. Hope they will re-pair in that tank, while i take care of theese fry.

they may have just had a domestic lol... i have a 15 gal cycling for fry when i finally have some i am going to move the rock placement in my tank becuase the female is laying her eggs in there and the male cant get to them so i am just going to leave the plant pot in with the plants they will still breed even though i have rearranged the tank right ???
