No sign of my discus breeding but I seem to have baby...

Rummy nose tetras :shock:

Thought I saw something small swimming around my large sword plant the other day and then it vanished.

Did a clean of the tank today and a water change and found about 10 small rummy noses about 5-10mm in length. I have a schoal of abut 30 of them and I know for fact I hadn't introduced any that small so they must be babies!

I never expected to see them breed nor have I tried and doubt very much if I could do it again either if I did try, just very surprised

My rummy noses always seem to be frisky early in the morning their mating behaviour is interesting - a bit of an orgy! three or more boys chasing one girl then they writh together...

I haven't seen any babies though - i guess they'd get eaten pretty quick in my community tank!

congrats on your breeding success :)

Congratulations on the new additions. I'd certainly love my rummies to breed like that. Got any photos of your new babies?

Shall have a look today and see if I can find them and give it a go at snapping a picture.
