75 Babies Off One Bn Batch :p

[littleme1969]

Well Ive had some big batches off my BNs before but this is the biggest.
I counted 75 that I could see and I'm sure a few more were hiding.
Has anyone else had batches this big? I often get 30- 40 but never that many.

wow - was that from one pair?

I've heard of males getting the females to spawn at the same time before - but if that from one female thats going some....

Have a squiz at this though...

Well if it wasnt for the fact they were the only 2 fish in the tank I would have thought that he had been mating with 2 as ive seen in the main tank. Strange thing is Id put these 2 fish in the isolation tank to sell as a pair. When I came to package them 2 weeks later found a huge clump of eggs in the cave. Hes currently in his cave again with his second batch..lol One super daddy this one

Had a look at the above link.. seems mines not the only one with big spawns
I managed to hatch a rear a clump of eggs he kicked out of the cave. Ive found if she lays them on the bottom he will kick them out, but if they are stuck to the top hes happy to leave them. I dont normally have them breading in small tanks I just let them get on with it in the main one. That way I dont have too many to rehome/sell one. Ive had about 250 from 4 batches just recently so I'm going to have to do some serious selling before 2 long

The loss of Steve Irwin was very tragic for the whole planet He did so much and cared so much. As a lover of wildlife and conservation his efforts always caught my attention. But his biggest gift was the ability to lift a persons spirits just by watching him. I went through a very sad and difficult time in my life some years back, and stupid as it sounds watching his programmes helped me to get things into context, appreciate life/the planet and move on with my life. Ive heard this said about Steve so many times I guess my biggest worry was that he and his efforts would quickly be forgotten, and the funds they used for all their projects would dry up. That would be even more of a tragedy than his death But it seems that they are finding new ways to promote him and his efforts. Instead of the croc hunter, I would like to see more of the diary programmes that they have put out over the years. Lets see the Zoo he and his family built continue to flourish in these types of programmes. Its also a joy to see his children grow as they look so much like him. I'm sure Bindi wont allow him to be forgotten and will in time become the worldwide loved sucess that her dad was

Bns are doing great. Second batch was about 50..lol and hes just sitting another batch Thiis one looks huge!..lol Hes off into retirement after this one as hes wearing himself out!..lol I'm hoping My gold albino male thats next in the tank will do aswell

he did so much!!! my love for animals exists far past fish...every animal i love and adore and feel so passionate about...his loss signified a loss to the animals as well. i met him once and he brightened my day in no special way...just becuase he was him...his love his life his passion was 100% animal!!!!!!!!!!! to lose him i felt would ose all this but bindi and terri are doing a,mazing things still. the zoo is thriving and they even renamed the road the zoo was on, it was glasshouse mountains way and now it is steve irwin way. australia mourned so deeply 6 months ago it was like elvis had died again but hit australia in its process...steve was a brilliant man and although he was put down by many he was understood in oz as being a God of sorts...sadly missed. when he died i felt strongly for bindy and bob but my father died nearly four weeks ago and it makes you understand ( my dad was like a mini steve) and everything else becomes so much more important. we dont realise all the time about animals but they are here as a gift...a privilege and we as mere humans only become privileged to own them...they are all beautiful creations and we need to respect them ALL...EVERY DAY!!!
