Congrats bro, join the convict train lol im happy for you. Are you sure its only 75-100? it looks like more eggs then that, Mine had 60eggs and they didnt even look anywhere close to that amount you have. I would say you have 150eggs, my babies are free swimming and eating baby brine shrimp like they're going out of style lol. We should exchange a couple fry when they get older so we can keep the blood line fresh.
 
Thanks. I had to take out the houses cause he couldn't fit in them with her. So I did and left them alone for the night when I got up around 7 to get a cup of water I turned on the light and saw all the eggs. She might have added more cause at the time I toke the pics her belly was still fat and her tube is still dropped. I think your right though. Who knew such a little fish could have so many babies
 
There's some better pics my wife toke.

Who would think they would be such good parents? I knew the moment that the parents would let the babies would get to free swimming that these parents were awesome and did i mention that they are only an inch long? lol

If I didn't know by experience I wouldn't have guessed it. My pair are doing excellent being first time parents.

Looks good I would add more flat rocks to make caves with. Good when you get some fry we could all trade and keep fresh blood lines.
 
Yes i agree with doomiedee please use some nice size rocks to make more caves instead of stacking the slates. You will find it more desireable for your fish to make caves trust me, we can definitely do some swapping to keep bloodlines fresh because i have some good genes.
