Yep. Thanks Mary and Ryan. We al know a spawn and wigglers are two different things. In a community tank its hard for these guys. Too many other adults looking at those egs as a snack. They are doing well keeping them at bay for a while now. We will see. :)

Great pair there Jeff, It will be interesting to see the Fry off those parents. Should bring a pretty penny...

They became wigglers, however they were soon breakfast for the other tank mates. So now I'll move them to their own tank and let them spawn again. I'm confident they will spawn again. This makes my 4th active pair going now.

Yeesh Jeff, going from importer to breeder overnight :-P

How are those VR's doing?

Jeff

Nope. Still an importer. The VRs are doing well. Should spawn again this weekend.

Well looking good man, keep the photo's coming I'm really enjoying them...hope you're happy with the results, I'd be elated.

Jeff

With the blue's yes I'm happy. I have to concentrate on getting a few more pairs of spotted fish breeding. I would like to get 6-8 pairs of mixed types. IE 2 -3 pairs of Leopards and 2-3 pairs of LSS. My stock just is not old enough yet but soon. But they are growing. It will happen this year. ;D

Jeff

Heh. I have about 8 adults in a 125 and I think they took turns eaing. Buy the time I got the camera there were very few left. They are in their own tank now so we will see what they do.

Jeff nice pair..are you planning on feeding the pair at all during egg,wiggler and freeswimmer stages..

Jeff
05-06-2004, 06:58 PM
Yes. As long as they eat I feed them. Some stop and then I cut way back on feedings to almost null.

Hehe. When I get enough I will split them into groups and try several things on them. I will have to start working out how many different experiments I want to try on spotted discus.
