Wrigglers in the community tank

[waitaki]

Hi with the problem I have been having with ph I have this to show!
I didn't expect these 2 to take their spawn as far as it has gone, but there you go!
There are another 2 females in the tank, one the golden albino can't make up her mind who she wants to spawn with but has laid a few eggs.
Another melon pair - they are the largest 2 and look great - I wish they would spawn, I'll probably keep them and sell this pair - but only if they spawn successfully - because these 2 have at least got wrigglers and are being really good parents

did any egg hatch? it looks like they were all covered by fungus or some sort.

yes they hatched had about 20 fry; they are pictured at the top right of the driftwood, yes those little spots are fry; but they didn't last long someone had a snack which was expected in the community tank. :roll:
That was their first spawn, they have spawned again and had fry, they were good parents picking the fry up from the sand and placing them back with the others. They are at this very minute cleaning their spawn spot for another try 8-)
I don't expect fry to last long in there I just want them to have a few spawns before I move them to a breeding tank.

The fungus happens regularily. I think it is the hard water that causes most of it, when they go into the breeding tank I use RO water mix see if that helps.
