L136 eggs

[firenzenz]

I moved the L136's into the own tank on the weekend.
Within 2 days one the females was in the cave and now we have eggs.
What now?
100 ltr tank with only a liitle pump blowing across cave.
Do I need more current/airation etc.
Do I remove the guppies and platys that were in there cycling the tank?
Temp is 26.5 degrees-warm enough?

I sort of have the idea that 'if it aint broke dont fix it ' approach
but also want to the eggs the best opportunity as this is new ground for me.

Sounds like you are doing well. I wouldn't change anything. I doubt the guppies/platies will eat the fry, as the fry come out pretty big.

5 days on and I can see I have wrigglers, so all good so far.
I'm almost believing that they're going to make it, so very pleased

well done As far as I know it is the first time this fish has spawned in New Zealand, long may it continue as you may be the only person to have L136's down here!

Update:

Well the fry are venturing to the mouth of the cave now and I suspect they 'll be out in a few days.

The red circle is a couple of the juvi's, and the yellow square is a different female who seems very keen on the cave.
