    Trier20 - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA

    My blue pigeon blood pair decided to spawn after taking a lengthy vacation after I moved them across my basement to their new home. I decided not to update until they actually became wigglers since none of their spawns has been sucessful up instill this one(so far). The difference was this time I was able to be home to catch them before she started laying so i turned the filter off and treated with meth blue. After two days I has wigglers and as of yesterday they went free swimming. I had to remove the filter I was using do to the fact that it was now dark green and all the free swimmers were attaching to it and not the parents. I also lowered the water to an inch or two above the parents. I had 2 or 3 attach yesterday and few more found them through the night. I tried explains to the parents how to be more successfull. Hopefully it works! This will be my first time raising fry so I want to document what I'm doing for future reference. I'm still debating on whether to do the contest or not.....?

                              Went home on my lunch break to do my feeding and check on these guys and saw that they have pretty much figured it out.The free swimmers are in the corners so if we go to the corners they are more likely to attach......They listened to me Smart parents!
