RTM Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A few of the eggs have turned white but I'd say 90% are still brown. Female hasn't left her spot. Male will stay by her for awhile then cruise the tank for a bit. Male is easier to get pics of right now, plus I'm not that great at taking photos.

Have a bunch of wrigglers. Will try to get pics but female has them in a hard to see place. Looks like the majority of the eggs were fertilized by the male. Figures they spawn successfully the first time and have been trying to get a successful spawn with the Jack's forever.
 
That's awesome to hear good luck with the fry. I have a rio blanco pair and will try to get pics of them later.
 
RTM's have the tank to themselves now. Had a spawn a while ago and fry are free swimming around 1/2" or so. Male picks off the fry here and there. Was watching him spit on in and out of his mouth for a few minutes last night. I thought he had killed it but a couple minutes later fry was up and swimming again.
