Thanks...
I used my Diamond edged Hole saw and Lithium Ion Ryobi cordless...and alot of water...they work great for caves, that is an 8" clay pot with 2.75" holes...

as far as the spawn,
I really didn't have much to do with it...just made the water correct and set the temp @ 82f with a 250watt heater (for stability) and within a week of having them home, BAM!! 1,000's of Jags :D
 
I just got these...

Mom and Dad with a huge Brood of Brats...

I noticed last night at lights out, the panic like actions Mom and Dad had, trying to round up the brood...

This is what they were doing today...Fry anywhere and everywhere!!

The colors on that male are to die for. ;) That's a buttload of fry Ben!
 
Tanks Guyz...

Funny you should mention color on the male...
He hasn't showed his bars/spots for a few days now.
Ever since he did the Daddy thing with his girl, he has been vibrant and showing the full Jag pattern, gill plate to tail, clear until this AM when the entire brood went free swimming. It's like they are really on guard, blasting at everything and anything. Must be stressful to look after that many babies...His colors look washed out and he is much lighter than normal, showing his bars/spots like MoM...

They haven't eaten in days, I keep trying, so when I go to net out the uneaten food they both crash the net.

I even tried to reattach the airstone clip, to the side glass...big mistake!!
he got me good on the wrist and made me jump, knocking the top glass and light hood loose...:naughty: I wasn't expecting that one for sure...
 
so when are we going to see "zennzzo baby jags for sale" thread?

I'm
hoping so...I have been an overstocked community kinda guy, and with all that hassle, I decided to do a species tank, so I can observe and enjoy with peace!...
Thanks Bro...
Sell, trade, give away...
10 lbs + of tilapia pellets, crickets, superworms a month is just too much for me to afford...Gotta love pellets and a treat now and then...

I think if all goes well, I'll be able to sell the fry to cover food costs.
I have some empty 10g tanks and sponges that won't cost too much to run...

Just sell some more scrubbies! :D
