Last several weeks one of my fenestratus and one of my hartwegi have been showing interest in each other. Sure enough, they laid a bunch of eggs on a rock today.
Fenestratus & Hartwegi laid eggs

Hartwegi is 9"+ and fenestratus is 7"+. Been growing these out, with other paratheraps, since Oct 2013. First time parents and so far they seem to be doing an excellent job. They are protective of their eggs but are not terrorizing their tankmates.
Less than a week after spotting the large batch, I got some wrigglers. Looks like about 2-3 dozens survived.
Yes.....and yes, it is a lot of eggs! However, that number is significantly reduced day by day as the parents picks out non-viable eggs. In the end, only about a dozen made it to free swimmers.
Thanks. I'd decided not to salvage the fries since I just don't have the time to rear them. They're actually on their 3rd attempt and tending a large clutch of wrigglers right now.
