Yellow Sajica & Breeding Haitiensis Juvies

[cavamart]

Male Sajica and 2.5-3" breeding pair of Black Nasties. I think the male eats more eggs than he fertilizes but their trying.

Great job getting those haits to spawn so young

 

[cavamart]

Thanks guys. It helped that the Nasties bonded so young to wipe out the rest of their siblings and some large peaceful tank mates that keep them focused on defending their territory.

Have you got fryfrom them yet or just spawning attempts? That crazy how small they are and spawning already.

 

[cavamart]

He ate about half the spawn but then left the rest for her to sit on. Unfortunately with her inexperiense she deposited them on the .5" pea gravel, picture below. The forth day the eggs were gone and she guarded off the spot from even the male. The fry wiggled down in the big gravel which was about two inches at that spot. I have since replaced the gravel with a smaller, more breeding friendly substrate. I also added pots, rocks and wood in hopes her next spawning site would make it easier.

Awesome Sajica. I can't believe those Haits are spawning at such a small size! How's the aggression between them?
