today i bothered them again , its the last time
i found out i can raise babies with their parent
cuz 39 of them survived after 8 days female dropped babies
already showing stripes
babies growing well
11/9 my female barried eggs again!
after she dropped her babies , she was very active, never stopped moving
but about 3days ago , she started hiding herself while male still moved a lot
then today i found out she barried eggs again
i didnt bother her to take picture today because shes very sensitive for one week
i will take her picture soon when she comes out
Very nice! HN and I have some babies growing out too, and a female that is about to drop babies, plus 3 berried females in another tank. LOL. They are quite prolific once they get to breeding. Have you ever caught them in the act? I freaked out the first time I saw them mating because I thought the male was eating a dead tankmate or something.
Congrats on the breeding! We just turned ours in last weekend for BAP with our local club.
