~ I learn something new ~ ~~~~ every day ~~~~
Happy Days About 6 weeks ago I swapped one of my L144 females a young male from with c.crystalangel (via post). I had 4 mature females and no male - despite searching high and low for ages. Until I read a thread that c.rystalangel was breeding and her dominant male was not happy with the other male in the tank.
The new male settled into my tank straight away, checking out the ladies and eyeing them up!
And a few days ago I noticed the male in residence in his clay pot, furiously fanning away. I left him in peace for a couple of days before checking out what happening in the pot - I wasn't sure if he was just fanning in anticipaton or hope, but when I checked out the pot, there was a huge cluster of bright yellow eggs!
I'm going to set up a seperate grow-out tank because they'd be gobbled up in milli seconds in the community tank - but will leave everyone in the tank until the fry are a couple of days old. Will post some pics in due time
