L 46 Spawn! Kind Of.

Doing my maintenance chores today and I found about 10 to 12 fuzzy eggs in my Zebra tank! Checked all the caves, nothing. So my two year wait for a spawn is over, kind of. The wait for fry continues.

Bought them as juvies, about 3/4 to and inch. At least I know they are now mature. Any advice on how to handle them after a failed spawn would be appreciated.

At least you got them spawning...that's a good thing...quite often the first spawn does not work out with other species as well

I agree, first spawns are often unsuccessful but they are usually closely followed by fertile ones ;). I would just continue to do whatever it is that you've been doing up to this point. The fish are practicing and figuring it out, so you're obviously doing things the way they prefer! Congratulations!
