    Cyprichromis leptosoma Utinta spawn!

    As I mentioned in another thread, I had a holding Cyp Utinta female (Esther, you were spot-on when you picked her out for me, thank you!). I put her into a hang-on basket inside the tank to keep an eye on her last weekend since I also have some Altos and other Tangs in the tank that would love...

    Benitochromis nigrodorsalis spawn!

    FINALLY these two figured it out even though they've been flirting ever since I got them from Sam. Every now and then they'll take a break for a few days, but otherwise they're constantly shimmying for each other and nudging each other in the gills. The constant nudging got so persistent that...

    pelmatochromis buettikoferi spawn!

    I picked up a few of these lovely fish at a CCY auction a few months ago and have had them in a 40B with a few other fish and a ton of wood while I figured out where to put them. Last week, two of them started defending the back of the tank and excavating the sand from it. I've been slowly...

    Another spawn.

    I went down to the fish room this AM and found one of my female N. aureocephalus guarding an itty bitty flowerpot full of eggs. We'll see if she gets it right and raises them this time. Last time she couldn't figure out what to do when the eggs hatched.

    Astatotilapia nubila spawn!

    I noticed the female (Haplochromis) A. nubila holding about two weeks ago. I stripped her into an egg tumbler since she was being harassed by the male and I was going to move them into a different tank (more fish to distract him and more hiding places for her). Below is a pic of the fry with...

    Taiwan reef spawn

    I was looking at my taiwan reef growouts today and noticed one of the females looks like she is holding. The problem is, they are only 2" . The female is the biggest at a little over 2". She has her buchal cavity definitely extended, and she did not come up for food as she usually does. Is it...

    Hemichromis guttatus spawn!

    My Hemichromis guttatus have been spawning in a community tank about every week or so and I haven't bothered to try to siphon out any fry as of yet. They finally spawned where I can see them, so maybe I'll be able to remove the coconut hut that the eggs are on. We'll see! (And yes, these...

    Synodontis lucipinnis spawn!

    I've been trying on and off to figure out what sort of encouragement my Synodontis lucipinnis need to get spawning. I got two groups of 6 or so from Dave at various points in the past and they've been growing out quite nicely. I've been seeing lots of chasing behavior, so I figured that was a...

    EB Ram spawn

    So the EB Rams are at it again. This is their 3rd and largest spawn (2nd in the past 4-6 weeks) and this morning I think we had some wigglers. Of course, I really need a magnifying glass to tell and I don't have one. The male guarded the eggs for 2 days and the female kind of brooded on the...

    Iodotropheus sprengerae (rusties) Spawn

    For a New World guy, I've had some luck with my one Old World Tank. First up, I stripped about 20 rusties this evening. My group is a mix of specimens that I picked up from Tony and Jeff Terrell.

    Angel Spawn

    I was surprised by how quickly these guys spawned. Sadly I dont have any tank set up to raise the fry yet but working on something quickly as I am moving them to a breeder basket today. Here is a quick video of them http://instagram.com/p/lp-tvdlLaj/

    Siquia spawn

    A few days ago my female siquia had a very swolen stomach and her "tube" was down, so was the males. 2 days ago the female wasnt as plump anymore and her tube was back up. I checked around and inside a cave in the tank, were eggs! The opening of the cave is pretty small and I'm not sure if the...

    Cryptoheros Spilurum Spawn

    As I was shutting down the lights in the fish room last night, I noticed that my pair of cryptoheros spilurum were all colored up and chasing others in the tank. Upon closer inspection, there were a handfull of wigglers down in the gravel! Hopefully they are still there when I get home tonight...

    Blue Acara spawn

    Got a good amount of eggs on the outside of a flowerpot in my planted forty breeder. Noticed the eggs today while feeding, the female is very dark and her tube is still extended. Their tank mates are four other Acara and a few zebra danios.

    Panduro spawn

    I've been hesitant to post this cause they often eat their eggs. But this time it seems to have not and I have about 20 fry that are free swimming and eating crushed flake. Sent from my iPod touch using MonsterAquariaNetwork app
