Well i know ive said it a few times but i think this pair could spawn any day now. The male has spent pretty much all the last 2 days in the slate cave cleaning it out and defending it so it looks promising.

[Vandraco aka Bronzecat]

Yep, you said it loads of times and I'm still waiting lol

Nice plecs mate

[kizno1]

Ahah.
Well belive it or not i just looked at the tank and theres eggs. He must have been guarding them but doing a bad job. I removed them because theres a hungry banjo catfish in there. But now its just a waiting game to see if there albinos or browns.

[Vandraco aka Bronzecat]

yay.....baby BN's. Gratz

Aww exciting hoping they're albinos!

[kizno1]

Same. They look like a big lot though. The albino looks alot skinnier but because its so big im wondering if its both of them.

[kizno1]

There now in the breeding trap with a small filter with the intakes covered in tights blowing them into the corner so they have good flow. I left a few eggs with the male and typically since i took the others hes protecting them really well now so i feel a bi bad for taking them. Its weird hes normally great at looking after them but this time he just kept leaving the cave.

Can't wait to see the wee "baby" photos.

[kizno1]

Ill get some as soon as i can .

[kizno1]

Well they should hatch out sometime tomorrow or maybe even tonight depending on when they where laid. All the ones i left in the tank got eaten because he just left them. I hope hes not like this when they go in the 150G or ill never get any fry because they will be munched in seconds.

[kizno1]

THERE HATCHING

[kizno1]

Ive moved them all into a 10G of there own because they didnt seem to be hatching to well and i think it might have been because of the poor current in the breeding trap even though i had a small filter in there. They seem to be doing better now.

I hope they are alright and albino for you Kiz!

[Nataliey]

How exciting

[kizno1]

Cheer. Just did a quick count and theres about 60 that have hatched and i had to remove about 30 that hadnt hatched.

[Irish_Lass]

60 isn't a bad haul though, right? You're doing well with this BN breeding lark.

[kizno1]

Not to bad but i normally have double. Theres really not much in it apart from feed and add water.

[kizno1]

Well its not looking to good. They all have big black eyes which would mean there not albino. Apart from 1 which i cant see any black pupils so i could have one albino

[2tall]

Well back to the black(albino)board. I know how bad you want an albino spawn!
