Well decided to place my Java Moss I had growing in my basement just to see how the Polys would react, well started seeing them checking it out as soon as I put it in especially one of the female's.:) A couple days later early in the morning getting my son his breakfast ready glanced at the tank there was lots of activity occurring. Walked up to aquarium and cut light on grabbed my magnifying glass found and pulled 5 eggs out that were attached to the plant. Immediately grabbed a catch cup filled it with water from main tank added Methylene Blue. Btw like to thank Dr.B Dr.B and other members who made this suggestion.:) My parameters
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40
Ph 7.2
Held on from posting because wanted to progress further than last time. Out of 12 eggs 7 of the have hatched and are active from day 1 made wc's with water from main tank daily, will move them into a 2 1/2 gal. after they start eating micro worms, right now they fry still have their yolk sac's.:)

I will post some pics later have to go to work

I will work on better pics later, only have a galaxy phone. Going to try to upload videos. The last 3 pics are the fry in the holding container.
 
I can not wait to see more pictures. Hopefully you can even make a couple of short videos.

tlindsey tlindsey , hey why the MB? Keep the eggs viable? Prevent infection? Just curious. Want to understand how you got it to work.
