Yesterday the eggs were gone, but the female looked like she was protecting something. This is what my wife and I saw jumping at the bottom of the tank, real hard to get a good pic of them. They are in a 90 gallon tank, took the male out and put a divider and put the female on the other side, she wasn't happy, bite me when I was putting up the divider.

Cool, what do you feed them? When did you start to feed them when they first hatched? how often do you change the water? lol I just got about 15 eggs from my pair, hope they'll hatch lol.

congrats bro

Very nice...........................

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, Just let you know I lost all the fry, wasn't ready for them, hopefully try again in the next couple of months.

Lost all? They got eaten? Sorry to hear that Good luck with next breeding project then

are the fryes in the 90 gal with the parents with just an eggcrate divider?

Juan, sorry to hear the loss. Next time, the parents will be more mature and produce more stable offspring.

I was pretty AMAZE with the picture shoot... wish i can do those with my camra >.<

any luck with your 15 eggs =)
