Do you know what happens when your heater breaks on your (empty) fry tank, and you are waiting for a new one in the mail?
You get babies.
Makeshift incubator made, heat lamp below the box warming the water inside. Once my heater arrives in the mail, they will be moved to a bigger grow out.
My fish decided to breed in the community tank without me even trying to get anyone to breed.
Eggs, Day 1.
Day 1, hatched!
Day 2!
Day 3!
Day 4!
Day 5! (TODAY)
And some videos
On lockdown? No heater? Fine, here's 200 babies for you!! XD
Temperature is staying nice and stable at 78F, 3x daily feedings of infusoria started on day 3, and very gentle water changes every other day. No losses at all so far, everything's going good despite the unconventional setup.
Bonus... the parents who decided they wanted to breed in the community tank:
