L183

I recently got an RO unit and on April 1st I noticed my L183's spawned. The eggs were kicked out of the cave. They looked good yet so I put them in a little floater tank, but they fungused out. Is it normal to lose the 1st batch? I am looking for anything and everything on these guys. thanx

It's normal for the eggs to be infertile if the pH and TDS of the water was too high. Any time the male fans the eggs out of the cave I put them back in and put something under the front edge of the cave so he can't get them out as easily. Hope that helps!

I may try that if it happens again. Any advice if I get fry?

Love them and feed them and call them George? ;) Fry are actually easy, once you get them. Feed them softened foods of the same forms you feed the adults and keep their water clean and usually there's no problem at all. I had more than enough trouble getting live fry from my L183 to make the fry portion of the endeavor really seem like the easy part ;).
