Hi
I would like to share my L14 with eggs. I believe the eggs were only 2 days old.

For the pair you can see in the article in the Reproduction section in this web.

Yes, However the success rate is much fewer than when we leave the eggs alone with the father. As you can see in the film that there are some bad eggs (white). Thus, those eggs were no good. I also notice that the eggs takes longer time to develop.
I will post another video for the babies.

It is the same set up as "Making Sunshine in Indonesia.(article in the Shane's World - Reproduction).

Great article in Shane's world. All I was missing was the size of the breeding caves which you posted here. Thanks for all the information. I have a group of 4, in my tank, but I doubt they'll spawn with so many other fish in the tank. Nevertheless I will provide them with some caves and see if I get lucky.
