another peacock gudgeon breeding journal

[Ashes2ashes]

So, a little while back I got some peacock gudgeons from another AC member with the intention of trying to breed them if I could. To my delight I saw my male and one of the more plump females enter one of the pvc pipes together last night. 12 hours later they are still in there, so I am really hoping there is some good spawning going on. I have been researching for a while and getting advice on how to hatch and raise the fry, so I decided to start a breeding journal here. If I am successful you guys will see pictures and updates. If not, oh well I tried lol. I am super excited and hopeful though! Anyway, to start with, here are mom and dad: (Don't laugh at my crappy camera quality lol)

Day 1 : The Spawn

I didn't want to disturb the parents too much with flashing lights etc, and my cam is anything but decent, but I tried to grab a few pics of the spawn. Hopefully you guys can get the genral idea.

Ty Ty guys! I am SO excited!! I really hope this works out. I plan to pull the tube -dad to a fry tank in a few days when it looks like I have wrigglers (if I get that far lol).
