Eclipse spawn! (L. curviceps or dorsigera)

[mchambers]

We were out of town for the eclipse, which was awesome, BTW. I was hoping the eclipse would trigger spawning (hey, why not?). We got back last night, but the lights were off on my tanks, so I couldn't check. This morning, I found that my Laetacara have spawned. They were sold to me as curviceps, but I've been told that they are probably dorsigera. Sorry for the dirty glass.

awesome! have any free swimmers yet?

They were swimming in the video, but I didn't see any this morning, so I fear they may have been eaten.

that is so cool I hope you will find that some of them have hidden and will show up when they get bigger. I love the babies I have had survive in my 220 because the fish I have in there are veggie eaters. also I keep them well fed. feed tank a little golden pearls for a few days even though you don't see them and keep an eye on water quality. If you start seeing them then switch to frozen baby brine shrimp.

Cool! I hope they continue to spawn without requiring celestial intervention!
