Fish can be so fascinating

Thanks for the picture and update.

Eggs were laid about 4-5 days ago right? If all goes well, a couple more days and we'll see wrigglers!
I read that it's typical of convicts to move the eggs a couple of days after they were layed, neat!

No worries updates will be forthcoming in two days time as they become free swimming!

Yup they were laid very very early Thursday morning so 4 days ago. I read that it's three days till mom brings them out of the cave for the first time!

Update: we have wigglers and free swimmers out of the cave this morning! Pic to follow when I find a good angle to shoot one

Still wigglers but they are in a pit right in front of the aquarium so I'm going to try and get a pic.

Hard to see but they are down there

Looking good, how many do you think there is total?

bettabreeder · February 23, 2012, 12:16:56 PM

I think 30 would be a fair estimate. Looks like a few more days till they are free swimming because the egg sac is still fresh.

Great news!

How big are the fry? Big enough for BBS or will you have to go smaller? What do you plan on feeding these little creatures?
