No, i wish we had 13 but its only 9 counting the two original ones.


Oh yeah, we divided it with Sean. He probably killed or sold his group already :D.

No, no egg shells and everyone just ate. Hoping that the second time around i can have some wigglers.

IME they usually pick up ~48 hours after spawning, which means they'll have to be able to defend the eggs for that long...

Maybe you can move their "favorite object" to one end of the tank, and stick a divider in there after they spawn next time? Worked for me....with some unexpected complications....
 
wow....mine havent spawned yet.. the female drop her tube but no egg laying??? ughh..Good Luck though...

I think that right now they are trying to figure out who is the dominant one, since i took out some fish and added two more.
I had a pair in a separate tank by them selves but nothing happened so i decided to put them all together.

Thanks, just move some fish around and see if that helps.
 
On Saturday i took out the Amazonarum to leave the Atabapos alone and today i see that a pair had layed eggs. There also seemes to be another pair trying to lay eggs. Hopefully i get some fry this time.
