View attachment 2012-07-06_11.30.54.jpg Just below the 12 oclock position on the Clay Plate are eggs .Not a big Spawn compared to many Monoculus spawns in the past. This is there second Spawn. I use two ladders to harvest the eggs..one to climb up to the edge of the tank and the other to climb down inside the tank.The water is mid to upper 70s alittle warmer then South eastern Brazil. The Ph is in the 6s. 18 days after the first spawn I added 1 cup o Brightwell tannins to my 900 gallons every day for 1 week. The 2" fingers look just like Monoculus. I beleive these Cichla came of age and the up and down Barimetric Pressure triggered her brain (Endocrine system)to start Ovulation.
