Today was finally the day. My pair of Leucosticas finally spawned out of a 5 member colony. They are about two years old. I thought it might be fun to document 4 phases of this spawn. 1. The pre-spawn ritual which is right below. 2. Egg laying and fertilization. 3. Maternal mouthbrooding and tending. 4. Fry grow out. Phases 1 and 2 are complete so I know I will need some luck with phase 3 and 4. Please comment and all suggestions are welcome. Enjoy!
I will upload the egg laying and fertilization in a bit.
