Just been in to my fish room and found my cobolt and rsb have spawned ,this is spawn number 5.The last time the eggs lasted 2 days im hoping soon they will raise some young, oh well fingers crossed.

cliff do you have any thing in your tank , apart from air stone or sponge filter. when i see my fish are about to spawn i turn the air of as i have sponge filter in my breeding tanks and even the air on is enough to make a lay unsuccsesful that little bit of moving water

thats s good stuff cliff

there must be something in the water mate
i am on my 3rd spawn with my pigeon blood's in 3 weeks and there are wrigglers in the tank from the last spawn last week--

gota pull my finger out and get the 2ft ready - geez i am lazy sometimes--

but hopefully i will also get to the next stage and get some keepers as well

post some pics if u get a chance or got time

cheers

no mate that sounds good , with the other spawn were the eggs firtalized do you know (sorry about the spelling not a stronge point hehe) if so it is ok if not i would turn the air off when you see them about to lay next time . is there enough light on the tank

I cant tell you if the eggs were fertized as they were eaten before hatching i am assuming the fish are a pair im sure by there breeding tubes \.
