They did the dirty deed while I was out!

So I came home after a nice day out and just walking into the room big daddy was banging away at the glass, which was unusual. So I go take a peek and sure enough one of the pagoda stones was coverd in eggs! Here is a couple pic's, sorry the focus isnt superb but it was hard to try and get a clean focus in while dad was spazing out right in front of the cam. I let them calm down and got them spawning on film which I will upload and link shortly.

Alright! If everything works out send some of those east!

Thanks all! I have never done this but I have a sponge filter cycling in an established 29 right now, and I'm gonna put it in a 55 for the fry if I end up with some *crossing fingers*! The parents are still sub adults so hopefully they arent shooting blanks. Of course if I get some healthy fry through their first couple months MFK members will get first dibbs.

Edit: Mom is dilligantly fanning the eggs, should I turn the light off like normal? or should I leave the light on so she can do her thing?
