Thought I'd post a couple of pics of the egg mass my Tatia intermedialaid today. This is their second spawn. I have a few fry from their first and hope to get many more from this one.

Congratulations
on the first picture I see a little snail. Many snails like to eat fish eggs. Tatia eggs are surrounded by some gel, which might protect them, but I would be very carefull trying to remouve all snails from the tank. If that is poosible.

I removed the snail right after the pic was taken. I have an infestation of pond snails in some of my tanks. I'm getting assassin snails to, hopefully, help with this problem.

Here you go:
If you look closely, you'll see a tail-like appendage in the eggs. They move in a "tick-tock" manner (for lack of a better term). I'll see if I can get video. It's really interesting.

Video of the eggs. Note the tick-tock motion. Sorry it's not clearer.
