True......

Just like now-a-days.....no one wants to be dad! :ROFL:

About 150 eggs....:WHOA:
lol but 150 eggs:WHOA:how many makes it become babies?
 
Just little 411 then vid!

I happened to come into the room around 7pm, and noticed the female doing a head stand in the middle of the tank.....like in a daze.....she soon recovered and shook it off....

Next she went and sat in the corner all coiled up.....so I figured I better grab the cam....

The 2 other aros in the tank, paid little to no attention to her.....I figured not a good sign...LOL

There was one time that she rested in the corner, and one of the others came and sat beside her.......but just that one time

2 hours of shimming, shaking, head stands, resting in corner, some barrels rolls while in a daze...... she made her way to the side of the tank and started backing up......

and

No light on tank, no heater on tank
Room light on 24 hours a day......when light in room off at night, silvers get spooked, and shoot right through the lids....LOL
 
did you know your tank temps? your water exchange temps? your lighting regime for the month leading up to this event?
pull your other fish out and see that they are not males. next time you want a male in there with milt. pm me and ill give you some advice that will ensure you get a proper spawning next time. good belly spotting!
