Liz!! My Columbian shark laid eggs again!! She had the fins, and I didn't add any freshwater and this morning I woke up and there was eggs! Her stomach is empty again and I'm moving them into a bucket with a small filter or find a mesh I can cover them in. :D
:headbang2: :headbang2: :headbang2: :popcorn: :popcorn:

I have to go to school now, but when I get home I'll put up all the pictures! :D
Keep this thread alive, this is round 2!

Here's a week old video of the mommy and daddy :D
(Breakfast, the bigger one, is the mommy)

Congradulations. I too am anticipating photo's of them. Saw your video and you have a couple of great looking C.S.C.'s. Lets hope they'll get to being better parents this time around.

Good luck with Round 2. You ever think of putting them in an egg bubbler? It might help. Now that we're all excited, keep us posted. Thanks for sharing.

Just saw your photo's. Great looking Columbian Shark Catfish. What's that milky substance around the eggs? I hope the eggs hatch out okay for you. Good luck with round 2.

The first time they laid eggs I didn't know what to do, so I left them in the tank overnight and they were eaten ):


Perhaps they could of not been fertilized. But lets hope these ones are fertilized. I think by putting them in a separate container is a good move. Hopefully you will see babies in like 2-3 days. Make sure to take lots of pics and document as much as you can about what went on.
 
Did you place them in fresh water tank..........wow i am so excited ...best of luck...post soon for update......wow
 
:(
I put them in a little bucket at the top so that they have the same water and temperature so no stress is added, and this morning they don't look as yellow. I'm wondering if they're even fertilized.

that could be a possibility.. and it is also possible you have two females..but i don't think so... so keep positive..they may go through this change naturally..time will tell.

I'm thinking its the fertilization, my mom thought the same thing. That's my best guess.
And thank you :)
