Being new or mostly new to Peacock Bass and absolutely fascinated by them, i found that i'm easily fooled.. a very nice asian couple run a nice, clean aquarium store in a city near me, all their fish are healthy and their tanks clean, and i like the folks a lot.
But this tank was labelled, "Albino Peacock Bass" $39 each. and there were only 2 left. So being me, i had to have em.. lol.
Come to find out they aren't peacock bass at all (figured that part out in less than 24 hours). But they are beautiful and they do get along in my big tank very nicely with the peacock bass, arowanna, plecos (yes plural) and crayfish.
What i wasn't prepared for is them breeding.. they have laid eggs twice now. The first time our redtailed catfish ate the eggs, so we moved her to the tank with the oscars (they are old buddies and get along fine). This time they laid the eggs inside the castle decoration. it's been at least 2 days.. maybe 3 as we aren't real sure when the egg laying started and finished..
What happens next and how soon? help!!!
