Moved my jag pair three days ago and they've spawned already , we have wrigglers :D
I took this pair out of my main tank a few months ago as they kept breeding and taking over 2/3 of my tank , I moved them to my parents house where I had a spare 4ft tank until I could free up some space at my place , the tank was already cycled as I grew my jardini juvi up in it but they only spawned twice in it the first time he flipped the pipe over that the eggs were in and failed to fertilise them and the second time she only produced a small cluster of eggs :confused: , I kept up with wc's and my parameters were fine , feeding was as usual (my lockup for work is at my parents so I have to pop there most days to put ladders etc away so I was able to do daily checks on the pair )
Anyway there at my house now and after three days I have wrigglers I guess they just love my company ;):D
After rearranging there tank she's laid the eggs in the pipe and all day today she's been digging out a hole under the front of the pipe and now started moving them :) my lights are off so they don't get stressed so the vids not the best I'll take another tomorrow with the lights on

Few still shots waiting for a video to load seems to be taking forever :( , the fry are spilling out between the gap in the pipes there moving to move them back constantly :Duploadfromtaptalk1415750371779.jpguploadfromtaptalk1415750396721.jpguploadfromtaptalk1415750445441.jpg

jags have massive spawns. you have a pair? you have a factory. guys look young. meaning the parents. one of my jags spawns.

word of warning on the male? once he gets bigger he will tear the female up unless she ready to spawn again like 6 weeks later. I keep them in sep tanks until she is ready again. male jags make bad husbands.
 
Congrats, very cool!
 
Thanks guys :D I've had this pair together for about a year now with very little aggression , my male isn't very young he's at least six year old (I had him in with my old big jardini he was pretty much the sole survivor besides the cats ) the females very bossy he doesn't put up much resistance when she's flaring up no matter how much he tries to do it back lol :D

Update vid , I've changed the substrate because the fx kept clogging with coral/sand
He's bossing her loads lately but she holds her own
