    Default Wild Manacapuru Blues Spawned

    I came home from work to a little surprise. I recently moved a group of fish out my 77 Gal because because there were 2 pairs in these showing signs of spawning. They are still going through all the motions, but nothing yet. The group I moved out decided to have a party of their own.






    This happened some time between Wednesday night and today.

    ph 4.9 - 5.0
    TDS 80
    Temp 85 F

    Nothing special done to the water, just regular water changes straight from the tap (municipal water supply) using safe.

    Thanks, it took me by surprise. There are too many other fish with them for any real chance at raising them, but at least I might get to see if they hatch and confirm the pair. So far they take turns staying with the eggs and fiercely chase away anyone that comes near.

    I absolutely agree, but until they lay eggs there's nothing and up until now just getting this far was seeming unlikely.
