Thanks guys

Tank size is about 1000 litres, feels pretty small right now especially for the tankmates.. If the aggression keeps up I'll need to move the tankmates into some of my other tanks. Interestingly the male had a much bigger nauchal hump a few days prior to spawning.

We'll see if the eggs are viable over the next few days, should be fun trying to remove them with two maniac bass defending them I was going to wait until I have wrigglers before removing them, would you guys recommend this?

Ps I'm based in Ireland so wouldn't be worth shipping them for those that are interested

Well done mate.Day 3 you can see the fertile eggs .After that you should let the wrigglers to be free swimming and you can vacuum them with a pipe.
Good luck.

Thanks! The viable eggs will be the ones that have darkened right?

(I have bred tons of mouth brooders but never egg layers before)
