After waiting for 2 + years for my L046 Zebras

Chuck, you have the magic touch.

[Charlyc11]

Chuck is going to have a zebra pleco factory!

One can only hope

Chuck, you have the magic touch.

As long as it's not the Midas touch I will take magic any day.

Just got these hatching decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. I did not have luck with the ones from Brine Shrimp Direct so let's see how these work.

[Charlyc11]

Well he kicked out the female and now he is guarding the eggs. I tried to take a picture but had a hard time since he blocks the view but I did see the eggs.

Awesome mate. Let the deluge of 046’s begin!!

[Charlyc11]

So now we are on the 5th day. Any minute

[danotaylor]

Chuck could you see how many eggs are in the cave?
Is this a tiny water pump pushing water into the hang in side uplift tube?

[Charlyc11]

I could only see a pile of eggs at least more than 4. Yes that is a tiny 50 GPH pump that I have adjusted down to less than half to pump up. I hated the noisy bubbler to push the water up. I have this setup for a few years and used it with my Bushy nose.

[Charlyc11]

Ok it's 12 more wigglers but one looks like he might not make it.

[danotaylor]

That’s fantastic mate! How do you get them out of the cave with the male blocking the entrance fanning them?

[Charlyc11]

Dip and turn cave upside down a few times and the all came out. I just removed the one that did not make it so 11 in total and hopefully they will survive.

[Second Hand Pat]

Cool, they have a huge egg sack and congrats Chuck

[Charlyc11]

A small update.

[danotaylor]

Very cool Chuck. Did all 11 eggs make it this far?

[Second Hand Pat]

That's too cool Chuck Congrats.
