    Smile Heckel Cross X Blue Scorpion

    Well I figured it would be any day but not any minute! I saw her tube down earlier today and got some good shots. I uploaded the photos and returned to her laying eggs. The reason I am ecstatic is because the Heckel X (possibly one of Waynes Checkerboard Heckels) has always eaten the eggs as they were laid by the females. Not this time! He is making his runs.

    Congrats Eddie. It's about time something went your way.

    Best of luck with the fry...

    Thanks All, we'll see. I am leaving for 2 weeks in Saturday so I don't expect them to last but at least my Heckel X has stopped eating them straight away. Maybe he will eat them later. LOL

    Take care,

    I know Robyn! The bad part is that I am off for 2 weeks vacation, leaving Saturday. Its all good though, as long as it isnt a disease outbreak before I leave, I am HAPPY with that! Less stress

    Take care,
