I'm so glad, they just spawned for the very first time (I've only had them for 10 days) :)
I hope the eggs will hatch and the fry will do okay...
There are no other fish in with the pair, so I guess it should work...
thanx to everyone who helped me, and sorry that I was so impatient, you were right, they just need a little time :)
 
they haven't eaten the eggs and none of them have gone white...
I think there must be around 200 of them.
How long does it normally take to hatch?
 
oh my god, they are hatching right now!!
The mother tries to pick them up and stick them back to the wall of the flowerpot I think...
of course they keep falling down.
they are soooo small
There must be about 250-300 left!
anyone need some convicts? :)

Now I'm defenitely addicted to fish, so entertaining to watch!!
 
WIKED! WELL DONE!

i want to have some con. fry one day
 
thanx!
The females moves gravel in the pot where the hatched eggs are (don't know if I can call them fry yet).
Does anyone know why she does that?
I hope she doesn't bury them in the sand!
 
they just became free swimming!!
I just can't believe how many of them there are, at least 150!!!

They keep trying to spit the fry back in the flowerpot, but they seem to wanna explore the tank :)

what a great sight!!
