L14 with eggs

Post by Bellenz »

Hi
I would like to share my L14 with eggs. I believe the eggs were only 2 days old.

Wow, thats amazing! I hope you can hatch those fish. Very cool looking.

Good luck and keep us updated, maybe pics of the pair would be great.

Yes, However the success rate is much fewer than when we leave the eggs alone with the father. As you can see in the film that there are some bad eggs (white). Thus, those eggs were no good. I also notice that the eggs takes longer time to develop.
I will post another video for the babies.

Great article in Shane's world. All I was missing was the size of the breeding caves which you posted here. Thanks for all the information. I have a group of 4, in my tank, but I doubt they'll spawn with so many other fish in the tank. Nevertheless I will provide them with some caves and see if I get lucky.
L14'S= 4
L190= 1
L200=6
BD X LEO STINGRAYS= 2
AROWANA= 2 - 1XB, 1SR
FLAGTAIL=1
CLOWN LOACHES= 12
DATNOID=1
RED TAILED GIANT GOURAMI= 1
RED DEVIL= 1 MALE
