BGGGJD x BGGGJD one more time

[spike38]

Well my BGGGJDs are at it again!!
I found a new nest in my BGGG community tank.

Last time, I moved the nest, And the two I believed to be parents
to a breeding tank. A day after they hatched, I never saw them again.
I don't know if they died, Or they were just eaten.

This time, I moved just the nest, To a small tank on my desk.
Along with a heater set at 78-79 degrees, and a fine airstone.
I took pictures before adding a light fungicide.

The Dempsey parents are still a lot younger than I would prefer.
But I'll keep you posted if they hatch or not.

Cool!

Thanks! I've been pretty attentive to the nest,
Removing any molding eggs. And it looks like
sometime today it will pay off. I've got a lot of
eggs on the nest beginning to wiggle!
So I figure it only a matter of hours.

Thanks, I hope so too.

At this point, The whole nest is wiggling.
And my first few fry have hatched.

I'm curious myself. And here are a couple of shot of the newly hatched fry.
Once they become free swimmers, I'll move them to a grow out tank.

The fry are absorbing there yoke sacks. And a lot of them are venturing out along the bottom.
But some of them are kind of stuck together with a strand like substance. I guess that's where
the parents play a big part. So far, I have not had to remove very many dead ones. But this
sticky substance worries me. We have given them some light feedings yesterday and today.
