First Spawn

[Lord Fauntleroy]

Came home today and noticed 2 Firemouths guarding the back of the tank. Sure enough, eggs laid on the background. Most are brown, with some white ones. What do I do now?

I would let them tend to the eggs themselves. It usually takes young pairs a few times to get it right.

Congrats on the spawn!

Have anything in another tank that will eat excess fry? Firemouths are very prolific, and once they figure out taking care of the eggs/fry you'll quickly be overrun with the wee buggers.

Congrats... if the eggs are a brown color they should be fertilized. Well when my fish spawn that's how I can tell by that color... even in my hybrids when they spawn. Hopefully you should see some black dots in the middle of the eggs later today so you will know for sure if they been fertilized.

Congrats on the first spawn. Where did your firemouths come from?

 

[Lord Fauntleroy]

thanks Bmore. that clears it up. the Firemouths came from Frank Cowherd. I can't believe they paired upand spawned in less than 3 months. There is actually anotner pair staking out a corner in my 180.

Good deal. Franks firemouths are nice.

 

[Lord Fauntleroy]

Fingers crossed Drew. They're doing well.

I thought the eggs were eaten by my Green Phantom. I guess not. There is easily over 100 of them.
