    Those are some super looking wilds. That is the coloration I am looking for.

    Good luck with your spawns and hope for many more!

    Just got home and almost half the eggs have turned opaque. They are still taking turns at them though. It's been about 54 hours since I discovered them, so I'm guessing if they don't start hatching between now and tomorrow morning they probably aren't going to.

    ok, I was wrong. They have started to hatch and the female is moving them to the other side of the wood

    Probably. So far they haven't seemed to care much if I've been around the tank. I'll see what I can do after I do my water change in the 77

    I'm not sure how much you can make out, but if you look on the right side of the wood next to where the small piece of plant root is hanging, there is the group that she has moved over. At first glance she looked to be picking at the wood, but then it looked like she dropped something and picked it back up and spit it at the wood so I went for a closer look. It still took me a minute to make out what I was looking at lol.

    Congrats Len, what a beautiful pair indeed.
    Your friggin tap comes out at ph 4.9 -5.0 or was that a typo error?
    In any event keeping our fingers crossed for you buddy.

    No, I really explained that badly. I had been doing changes without using RO or anything and just doing them using tap water in that tank. Once the changes are done, the ph in that tank settles usually low 5s, but at the time I found the eggs I took it and the meter fluctuated between 4.9 and 5.0 From the tap right now it comes out at about 6 sometimes a wee bit above, but not much.
