well after a couple wks of having a cover over my tank iv removed the cover and still no action from my L104s but i did find 4 albino longfin fry hanging on the side of the tank. looks like the male never booted all the eggs out after all.

Awesome Karl , congrats, why did you have the tank covered, were you simulating their breeding conditions?

because i noticed a female clown hanging round the male clowns cave and everytime i went near the tank or turned my room light on she'd dart away. thought if i covered the tank i wouldnt disturb them. plus was doing small wc everyday to help. unfortunately it didnt work. so back to the old drawing board

Oh ok,..I get it now,,Thanks for clarifying..
Better Luck next time.

Wow! I guess rearing BNs is just like trying to have your own kids. When you don't want them they'll appear, and when you do want them it takes a lot of work. My only female is checking out the "love cave" again of the albino ( Both l144s). I guess I'm gonna have more.

he's on eggs again

Congratulations Karl,
Hope your successful with them ..

damn it!!! he booted the eggs again! WTF!!!!! this time there were none left in the cave either

I think you really do have a very fussy male there...what type of cave are you using??

Bad luck Karl. Both my boys have kicked eggs out of this batch too.
Thank goodness for fry savers!

hes in a a piece of drift wood thats had a hole drilled into it bout 13ish cm deep. its the only cave he likes. he did the same thing as last time, after bout 4 or 5 days he boots em. maybe some of the eggs arent getting fertilized or somethin so he boots em all. thinkin i should get another female so he can get more practice.

What ever you do , I hope you get a tank full of fry soon....

hes on eggs again. please please third time lucky!

fingers crossed for ya mate!

sometimes it does take them a few times, especially the longfins for some reason
