So my F1 Bahia redtails spawned in my pond and have roughly 20 eggs left. They are defending the eggs fiercely. I wondered why they have been holding down that spot next to the tropical lily pad. I wish i had put a piece of slate in there for them to lay on but i didnt get around to it yet so they laid them on the bottom of the pond. I guess ill just let nature take its course with this spawn and after the eggs hatch or are gone i will throw a piece of slate in there for them to lay on so i can remove the eggs next time. Its awesome to watch them fend off the azul pbass and the 18" flower ray. I thought for sure the flower wouldnt let them push him around but they sure are. Im happier than a fat kid in a candy shop right now. Just knowing they are comfortable enough to spawn makes me feel really good.
