    Set these guys up last night, I haven't been having luck lately with spawning! My last successful spawn was in January and the fry only made it to 2 weeks old No and since then I haven't even been able to get the pairs to spawn. So I set these guys up last night, they're in the best condition and ready to go! No idea what the cross will get me, it will be a surprise I guess!!!

    I put her back in the vase last night before I went to sleep

    I released her a little after 2pm today, they began spawning around 2:30pm. Very nice spawners, no damage to either fish so far. They wrapped for about an hour, no eggs, are taking a break now and he's working on the nest. Im hoping they'll get back to it soon. But I know sometimes it can take 3 or 4 hours before the female begins releasing eggs!

    Sorry for the horrible photos, my camera does not take good pictures when the water has IAL in it and is tinted!

    Breeding is just not my thing these days... woke up to no eggs and no nest... it was a first time breeding for both of them so its possible the eggs were infertile... I'm going to recondition the pair, they were so wonderful, quick and gentle, I think next time they'll get it, I'll probably try spawning them again in about 3 weeks. I put a new pair in the tank today that I am very excited about, I will start a new thread about them!
