Eggs!! And they did it while I was travelling...

[Discus-Hans]

Thanks, Hans. Isn't that interesting? It seems that in some instances too much care and attention is not the best way to go

Now imagine, you and your wife in a big glass box in the middle of a shopping mall..................... would you???????? lol

Thank you, Mark and Keith. It is just unbelievable that my daughter would not see the eggs for several days. Well ... I will keep folks posted about future spawns.

Don't be too hard on her Mauro. I have one small pair that doesn't ever seem to lay many eggs and because of the color of their eggs even after seeing them spawn on Barb's cone I have to look hard for them. In some instances depending what the eggs are laid on it's dang hard to see them. Of course my eyes are probably a lot older than your daughters.

Thinking the same here Keith. Eggs being hard to see.

Ok, Ok, I wll not cut her stipendium

[Second Hand Pat]

No...didn't cut her off. She sent you a picture of wigglers...give her a bonus

Well done...this is exciting to see one of our members spawing true Cuipeuas...excellent job...Hans always has good advice...the K.I.S.S. method often works best!

Pat with her Tefe's, Mauro with his Cuipeaus, who's next!!!!

Hope to someday see a hobbiest challange with ONLY wilds....

Please keep us posted...

[Second Hand Pat]

Eric, Len with his blues. Exciting times with all this ongoing wilds spawning...love it.

[Carolina discus]

Ok Pat...now you are making me HAVE to do a search to check Len's out

No disrespect to anyone who I missed breeding wilds.....I am just starting to follow the wild threads....getting the itch to work with them...just what I need, like the domestics dont keep me busy enough!
thanks

You are right, she does deserve a bonus. Offered her a fish tank but she is not interested

Thank you, Eric. But hold your horses, sir. I can't be compared to experienced hobbysts like Pat with her amazing breeding program. I am just a beginner

It would be terrific to have a challange only with wilds. May be I would be able to join in few months, if things go right.

And there is also Mark’s Cuipeuas:

I should mention Nandi started with the Xingus originally and was constantly wildly successful. One year he told me he sold over 300 fry and there is Attila with his heckels.

Well remembered. Attila introduces himself in post 160 in this thread, in which Nandi posts several pics of Attila's succesful Heckel breeding:

Hans, I miss the boy. He is a good source for information.

The latest news. My daughter reported that yesterday the parents moved the wigglers from the front to the back of the cone. Isnt´s that cute ?! By night, she could see a few babies attached to the parents!! So I came home today 7:00 am and do you know what I found? Nothing!! They were all gone. I have been dreaming of seeing my Cuipeua spawn and I missed it all.

I know, I know, now that the pair is formed they will do it again. But it is just ironic that I missed the whole thing.

I am going to do a WC tonight, clean all the mess and put a divider in the tank. Will keep you all posted about any news here.
