I have a couple new spawns to share. I bought a 17"x3' rubbermaid and put a colorful pink female and my best male in it and they spawned within 5 days. The other one is crazy. I have 3 jags, 2 male and 1 female. The alpha male destroyed the female 3 times and almost killed her. I pulled her out each time and healed her up (jags seem to heal faster than any other fish I have seen) I put her in this last time, and for a few minutes, the same thing happened. He was doing aggressive circles around her and I was at my wits end. Then like a light switch, she went to the bowl and he followed, only this time they rubbed each other for three days and then.....Please feel free to comment. I will raise these jags away from the parents and trade them to fish stores. Free to anyone in Washington and if shipping is paid I CAN ship :)



The first pic looks cloudy because it is through the side of the tub :) third pick shows water clarity and above the red thing the clutch. You can see the clutch in pic 1 as well. The jags are leaving all the other fish alone and letting them come right near their nest.....

Eggs are all good. I had 3 more spawns that same day....I have never had so many at the same moment. I have 5 in egg, 1 wriggling, and about ten batches swimming and growing. I had to go buy some more rubbermaids because 15 tanks is not enough anymore lol. I constructed some ghetto box filters for the unexpected wave of fish humanity <<LOL Here is a sketch that actually looks batter than the filters themselves...LMAO:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:



The black holes are actually lower I am just lazy and figured you guys would be laughing at me so hard anyway...Who cares....The blue is where I hope the water is going in and it travels up and through the media and out of the holes on top. I used floss and sea-chem matrix. The box itself is Tupperware. I taped them tight and poked the holes through the tape. I am holding it down with rocks....
