So far so good. <keeps fingers grossed> Found one working over a brigs shell. Was quite comical to watch.

Just found three new baby fry. Momma must've dropped some more eggs somewhere. I think the crypt jungle may have something to do with it as they are all over them.

Found more eggs today. Fry guys still growing and swimming around. Three of them are now developing their color.

Keep up the good work!! I would suggest you get to work on a little bit of a journal with all the specifics of that tank, your maintenance schedule, etc., etc. and the fry raising. As precise as you can. You yourself know that information on oto spawning and fry is virtually non-existent. Lots of pics of everything! :thm::thm:

Pics are definately a weak spot. I just can't seem to get any good clear shots. I snap around 20 or so but wind up deleting most if not all of them.

Here's one of the older baby's.
