Wheeler is on eggs again tonight.
this time he had mated with a LF blue eye lemon female(names belle) she is looking pretty trim tonight.
The batch of eggs looks pretty small.

Absolutely it was her first batch of eggs. I’m also okay with a smaller batch of eggs. I’m running out of room for growing them haha
Soooo I noticed my albino female is looking pretty skinny....I checked on my male and it looks as though his egg clutch has grown. I think he’s now sitting on eggs from both females.
They say the male traps the female...in this instance I feel like she trapped him...like meh your already in there, might as well double up
So the blue eyed lemons hatched today and someone in my tank had a feast on pleco eggs. I think it was the lemons that hatched as the albino laid eggs a day or two later.
I won’t know for sure until these guys grow up a bit.
My speculation is the lemons caused a ruckus inside the cave when they burst out of their shells (if you haven’t seen a video of them hatching it’s pretty cool). Either they pushed the albino eggs out when hatching or dad pushed eggs when fanning or eating their casings. Either way I rescued about 30 babies in a breeding box and found empty egg casing all over my tank.

A male from another tank, I loved him bc he was fighting with a male and he broke on of the leading rays on his fin. his bristles are coming in nicely since being moved
