Well i got home from a weekend away with the family and my 2 whites and reds have paired and layed eggs on the under gravel tube, this would be their first pair. I say about 50-70 eggs about 80% of the dead at about 55 hours but I got about 12 wigglers!!! I think the problem with the other dead eggs is they laid the eggs about 1/2 inch from the main filter inlet tube!! So I turned it off for a few days till they get swimming!! She started moving them this evening we will see how they do later this week!! I didn't even think they would spawn givin the conditions not a breeding take at all the tank is for show purposes!!:D

With this being a community tank you probably will end up with no fry. You could try putting them in there own breeding tank if you want to try breeding.

I agree...better to just put them in a seperate breeding tank and let the 12 wigglers go...not worth raising only 12 fish IMO
