lol not quite..........

lol

Awww sorry hun. Hope the next one is succesful x

Thanks hun

Just been back out to check what is going on.. I have spotted maybe 10 or so round things eggs? that seem to be just floating around in a big air pocket under the bubble wrap.. I cant work out if they are just air bubbles or not..

Does anyone have a very clear picture of some eggs in a nest that they could please post up to show us newbies what we are supposed to be seeing?


Editing this as what I should have said was.. I cant work out if they are bubbles or eggs as they arent in a cluster so unable to see if they are opaque or not.. If that makes sense now lol

best I can find where it doesn't just look like a mass of bubbles.

atleast you can see the colour difference

Thanks hun, that makes me think even more now that mine are just bubbles. But I will leave him be for a few days and see what happens

Here's a couple side views. I use a bare bulb lamp and strong reading glasses to check for eggs.Just click on the image to enlarge.

Thanks Chard, I have checked mine again this morning and I am pretty sure now there are no eggs.. So gonna be setting up the new breeder tank over the weekend to try a different pair

Well this is turning out to be a real roller coaster ride with my diary... After checking again and still convinced that was no eggs, I decided to clean the floor of his tank a little bit, it was disgusting.
So there was my busy with my syphon tube and looks over and he is going ballistic under the nest. I get the mag glass out and have another look to see what he is doing and guesss what??

I have eggs!!!! He was busy putting them back up into the nest. I still can not see them for looking, but I know there are there

I would just like to say a big thankyou to Kel, who has had to put up with me on the phone for ages going through everything over and over again.. Thanks hunnie x

Thats great to hear Im glad youve got somthing for your efforts here, lets hope your little guy does his stuff !

Thanks hun, I was absolutly convinced that this was a failed spawn, but guess he had other ideas

Yay, it finally happened. Congrats

Thanks Ali

AWWWWWWWWW great news teri hun

Thanks babes

Think it's my time round yours now to pretend to see babies I cant really PMSL!

Seriously Im dead chuffed, gonna be a whole lot of babies soon on the forum!

That's it! I'm taking the bums, the no good lay abouts; the no bubble blowing losers and the feet (or fin) dragging lolligaggers and put them back in jars and start with some fresh meat. I'm glad you have eggs. I get tickled every time I read about a new spawn. I guess I'll have to get out the whip on mine.

Lol Chard, I am sure yours will get down to it soon..
My other tank is being set up so that I can get that running ready for the next pair, which will be my dragons.

Any babies yet

little bitty things that have big boggy black eyes keep falling from the nest!! Looks like the babies have arrived
Dad is doing a really good job of looking after them, cant wait now till they get bigger to see what we get

awwwww cool, and you though dad ate them. We need pics

Pics?? Pics?? I cant see them not alone take pics of them!!!! Lmfao..

I will try but the cont that they are in is a frosted kind of plastic, so not the best to take pics through
