I know, I know...........I have half a roll already and will take more thourghout this week and will get them developed this weekend.......soryy, but I don't have a digital.
congrats silver Don't be upset if she eats them, it's common. The fact that they've made it this far on their first spawn is an excellent start, best of luck to the mama (and the granny!)
Through the night (yep they are STILL wiggling) she moved them all to a fake plant that's on their side of the divider. WHAT A GOOD MAMA SHE IS!!! You should have seen last night when I fed them......the Daddy jumped out of the water to attack my fingers.....YIKES!!!!!!!! He is definitely doing his job too!!
I felt so bad for the mama last night she spent like 30 minutes trying to get ONE wiggler to stay on the glass with the others. It kept dropping and she kept diving after it, sucking it up in her mouth (way back in her throat too ) and then hocking it up next to the other ones........darn thing just wouldn't stick I was like, "She has 500 other babies to take care of.....geez!!"
So it's been 72 hours as of now and they are still wiggling away and neither parents have eaten any of the fry........< are they called fry at this point??
You are so very welcome ) I really enjoy sharing with everyone.
At 75 hours now the wigglers are all on the plant like I mentioned and a few keep wiggling right on off and the mama is still catching them and spitting them back with the others......still no eating going on and I can see that they are already a wee-bit bigger!!!
