| Behaviour | Did a colder water change (unfiltred fresh rainwater) 2 days before and the temperature dropped to 17-18 C. Saw they where more active the day after but then they where back to normal the day after and the next day they spawned. 2 Days after this spawn they spawned again and then 7 days after that they spawned again. A total of 3 spawns in 1,5 week. |
| Eggs | There were 140 yelloish and clear eggs laid which were 0.0mm in diameter. |
| Time to hatch | 5 days Number: 25 Free swimming: 2 days |
| Segregation | I took out the eggs. First spawn I put the eggs in normal size icecream box with parent water (rainwater),meth blue and airstone. Daily 30-40% waterchanges. with parent tank water. All the eggs just disolved or go into small bits. Second and third spawn I use Ziss big eggtumbler in 73L tank with rainwater and meth blue but there became nothing from them. 4th spawn I use Ziss big eggtumbler in 73L tank with rainwater and meth blue and they hatched. 4th spawn fry got into a grow up tank and 5th spawn got into mother tannk. 7 weeks later I have around 70 fry that are still alive and they are not in the mother tank all. I have video of the spawn with 2,5 T positions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkaG4gmbNFA and on my Yuotube channel there are more video vith eggs and fry. |
