My first ever peacock spawn

[Gpdriftwood]

Hi everyone. Just noticed my female occellaris spraying eggs all over the driftwood in my 1000gal. The male is a mono. I just got them a couple months ago from oshp132. They are my first pair of adult peacocks. Wondering how long the eggs will take to hatch IF they don't all get eaten. I don't have high hopes, as the bass r in w a 3' arapaima and 6 large Ray's. But any info from someone who has experience would be appreciated. Thx. (Really clouding up the tank, it was blue yesterday.)

Congrats, that's awesome. Good luck keeping the rays away.

Thx. So far the Pima is the only one interested. And they aren't letting him near them, protecting aggressively. Ray's r just eating all the eggs that fall to the bottom. Entertainment for the night lol.

Still lots of eggs left this morning. And the tank is clearing up again.

Anyone know a good site for info about peacock incubation? I'm getting different info from other sites. Thx again.

Maybe I'm just not getting the right thread here?

My tablet did not pull up that thread, or I missed it. Seems like I didn't try hard enough to find it myself before starting another thread. Sorry. And thx again.

Update, the first batch of eggs were all gone within 2days. Came downstairs this morning to round 2. Thinking of setting up a 10gal and extracting some w a net to see if any hatch. Or get one going for round 3 instead maybe.
