After many many failed spawns and clutches being eaten, I have finally (after almost 2 years) been able to raise some fry - all my males seem to be useless at hatching eggs and raising the fry themselves.

Fry are about 3 weeks old.

Photos are attached - sorry for average quality.

Cheers,
Jessie.

I've never tested my parameters but I keep them at 25 +- 0.3 degrees celsius. Planning on raising the tank to about 27 degrees in the coming months.

All good mate - ask away.

I have a bunch of caves in the tank with which they've spawned in, plus I've had a male spawn underneath a rock between two caves a couple times. The caves I have are LxWxH:
- Triangle 18cm x 5cm x 5cm
- Rectangle 15cm x 4cm x 3cm
- D 15cm x 4cm x 3cm

UPDATE: Fry died from unknown causes and I have since moved house and tank two months ago and divided into two sections housing 2m2f and 3m2f. I have just come home to a fresh spawn with female to potentially lay more eggs.

This is the section of the lastest spawning.

Spawning happening underneath the rock.
