Wild Tefe F1 "Batch B2"

[Second Hand Pat]

Same parents as Batch B laid tonight. I had to stop to allow the male to make his runs. I was drawing fish to their side of the tank and he went into defensive mode.

This video shows the size of the spawn. Forgive the reflections and my messy family room lol.

I like that pairing. Guessing 125 eggs or so?

[Second Hand Pat]

Keith, this is the male you like. I have already put up the divider :p

[Second Hand Pat]

Eggs looked good this morning.

[Second Hand Pat]

Eggs should hatch today but down to a handful of eggs. Rather disappointed in that :(

[Second Hand Pat]

The eggs are hatching. Look close and you can see the eggs wiggling.

The wigglers above didn't make it but the pair spawned again and the wigglers should go freeswimming today. It is not a huge spawn, maybe 30 to 50 wigglers and the parents are the Batch B pairs and if we get attachment I hope this spawn will be defect free.

[Second Hand Pat]

and we have attachment. So with wilds attachment they waste no time. The wigglers just started break away this morning and they seem to be fully attached now. Maybe this lot will let me prove out the male...or not.
