These two are quite the pair. They spawn every 10 days. Eggs gone on day 2 every time since I got them. This time I caught them at it and was able to move the eggs to a container. Got to wiggler stage, but something must have happened on day 4 as I tried to move them to a fry holding system- not sure what. I will try a new technique next spawn moving eggs to a small tank. Determined to get it right and get these 2 some offspring. They live in a 75 gallon community tank with a manager ie of mostly catfish, rummy nose and danios.
I also have a tremendous happy guppy party tank with tons of beautiful incandescent blue offspring growing happily, a puffer only tank with 8 pea puffers ( hours of fun) and my favorite the red betta “Ruby” with his very own hunting tank. All personality plus.

ps- I read that the fry upon becoming free swimmers must make it to the surface to get air for swim bladders immediately or they will die, hence the shallow fry system. If I use a 2-3 gallon tank, will this not occur? I was worried and moved them I think prematurely to the fry container from the egg container on day 4. The methods I have seen and read about are quite different, and so getting the wiggler to free swimming stage right will be my next endeavor. If anyone has had success, I would love to hear your techniques!
