Should be fixed but Ive had to use an external link...dont know why its not working otherwise..

Eggs are gone anyway...I think the ph wasnt low enough...it was just above 6 and all the info suggests that it needs to be in the 5 range.

It's working now Mike. Lovely fish. Better luck next time with the eggs.

They're definately worth breeding.

How did you capture that footage Mike? Camera phone or video cam?

I can relate to you... I have had these guys spawn 2 or 3 times for me ( have seen the eggs ) and no fry :( pH is at about 6.0, water from the tap is slightly acidic (tank water) and I just have a lot of driftwood, Java Moss and terracota pots. Any suggestions on lowering the pH to such a low level???

Ive got my ph down to around 5.5 now (Ive just popped a big bag of peat in a stocking) so will wait until the next spawn and see how things go.

Don't know if you can see but there are actually some babies in that photo, after about 9 months I've actually got fry! :D
