After many many failed spawns and clutches being eaten, I have finally (after almost 2 years) been able to raise some fry - all my males seem to be useless at hatching eggs and raising the fry themselves.

Fry are about 3 weeks old.

Photos are attached - sorry for average quality.
Cheers,
Jessie.

Congratulations, Jessie. It'll get easier from here.

Cheers, Eric

What are your water parameters?

I've never tested my parameters but I keep them at 25 +- 0.3 degrees celsius. Planning on raising the tank to about 27 degrees in the coming months.

thanks I'm running mine at 26 degrees celsius

one more question How big are your caves?

All good mate - ask away.

I have a bunch of caves in the tank with which they've spawned in, plus I've had a male spawn underneath a rock between two caves a couple times. The caves I have are LxWxH:
- Triangle 18cm x 5cm x 5cm
- Rectangle 15cm x 4cm x 3cm
- D 15cm x 4cm x 3cm

oh i suspect my caves might be on the short side ill have to build some new ones thanks for the answer

UPDATE: Fry died from unknown causes and I have since moved house and tank two months ago and divided into two sections housing 2m2f and 3m2f. I have just come home to a fresh spawn with female to potentially lay more eggs.

This is the section of the lastest spawning.


Spawning happening underneath the rock.
