One Of Those Sad/happy Days

[frapadoodle]

Well came home this evening to the sight that one of my Peppers up and died. Rather sad, only had them since June.
So, I had a hard stare down the length of the tank. Best way to watch the kids when they are being shy.
Well I caught movement across the rocks. It seems that not all the eggs from the first spawn weren't eaten. I have at least one wriggler. Took a half hour of sitting still in front of the tank, but the fiesty little booger showed off.

Good luck tmoney, get them fat and happy and watch em go.

Thanks everyone, the loss is a puzzler, but it happens. We never know what the fish went through before we get them.
The eggs were a nice surprise, only one I know for certain is mature, my orginal male bronze. And my last girls took a couple of tries to get viable eggs. The fry are a bigger surprise, as I thought all the eggs were munched up.
Had two spawns, the bronze went first, the peppers a week later. The fry are two sizes, so I am hopping I have fry from both.
Sadly they are on thier own as at present I have neither the time or space gor another tank.

Well I do have one named Glory. Survived last Winter went a power outage froze the house and I lost all my stock. Kept the tank going for the plants, when I noticed a lttle fella among Java Fern roots.

Well down to three. But all Peppers.
As three of my Bronze were rasied from previous spawns, I will just have to see which group will give me the next batch of babies.

My pygmys spawned and didn't eat their eggs!  I just left them and a day later there were all these teeny tiny babies.

Congrats! Want some pygmys, but don't have space at present.
I will be so glad when the littlest is big enough to see with the lights off so I can do a proper hoovering. Starting to get poo corner again.
