Scleromystax prionotos spawned

[hoplo]

We got some Scleromystax Prionotos a few years ago and kept them with some Barbatus we are growing on for breeding stock, Andy had even forgot we had them.

With Andy moving fish tanks around in the main fish house, he put the Prionotos in a tank full of guppies in the new section of fish tanks, in what we call the conservatory (first section of the fish house as you enter).

They have gone and spawned, i took the eggs out and put them in a little fry tank, i counted about 20 eggs then saw a leaf with loads on so im guessing they could be about 50 eggs, the eggs are smaller than the Barbatus eggs. The eggs hatched on the 7th Oct, fry seem smaller than Barbatus too.

Sorry i dont have any pics of them, i will try and get some pics of the adults and when the fry are a lot bigger.
