Neolamprologus Brichardi Brreding :)

[Joemuz]

I was filling a giant (1' x 1') that my neolampologist brichardi have dug in 2 days as there is a wall in the tank i made out of rocks and they had dug to the base and i was worried of it falling over as they have only doog from one side. I lifted a rock and unerneath there where about 40 teag green coloured eggs on the rock so i moved the rock, filled the hole that i was half filling when i saw the eggs then placed the rock back and placed the 2 slates that where on top of the rock and bogwood bacl on top. They where still there this morning and the pair are garding them still so im pleased my disturbance hasnt made the pair neglect them How long will it take for them to hatch? Thanks, Joemuz

No worrys, they'll get the hang of it after awhile. It's not unusual for that to happen, most often it's just inexperience, but they'll also eat them if none got fertilized.

Right change of plan, i see babies
I saw a few fish with the egg sacks on them yesterday evening after the female went under a slate i never knew she had dug out.
Then when she accidently brought 1 or 2 fry back out with her she soon caught them in her mouth and put them back under the slate.
I will keep this thread updated. Thanks, Joemuz
