they spawned about this time last year. they stopped when the fall started and didnt spawn all winter or spring. today, we noticed them ROMPING all over the tank. the peppereds seen to have stirred up the emeralds too.

Cool! Congrats! I left a few of my sterbai adults in my 75G pleco tank. And yesterday when I turned the lights on I caught sight of a baby sterbai. Even though I have a tank full of breeders, it's cool finding a surprise tank survivor!

this looks like it was a trial run. they did this last year too. though it seemed last year it was one female at a time that was spawning, this year both females were enjoying the good times with the one male i have. poor little guy is probably exhausted. and although there was a lot of activity, i only saw a few eggs being laid. i know some got eaten, but the ones that are left are infertile save one. if all goes well, they should continue spawning today and tomorrow. then again i a couple of weeks (especially if my bf brings home more live blood worms). *shrugs* there were so few eggs, i left them alone.
