Yes, they are good layers. I missed the 12.5 second window of opportunity, and they've been at it again - more eggs on the intake filter.
I also found a baby that I must have missed last batch or the one before - it's nearly 2cm long & starting to hang out in the open.
I know this was one out of 160, but I'm planning to leave this lot be & see what happens. Fingers crossed!
Maybe I'll catch the parents in the heartbeat between spawns this time & I can put them in their own tank.

Look what they did!
Not a fantastic survival rate on pure neglect, but have a look!

Just an opportunity to boast - after following the excellent advice I received here, from the last batch of around 60 eggs, afew weeks on I now have 39 royal whips in the breeding tank, at 2-3.5 cm. Yay! Thanks guys!
Here's hoping they stay alive.....
Oh, and the one in the photo, which has been growing more slowly, is now a bit over 4cm. Yay!
I think I've got a way to go yet before I'm ready to part with any of them. How big do they need to be before I can/should sell them?

Yeeesssss,
My photography skills haven't improved Scott, just my whiptail breeding, but I'll give it a go. Dull grey/brown fish on a black background may be problematic, but I'll try.
As for you, fish_r, we'll argue about payment later, but you're welcome to some if I can keep them alive. Thanks for the encouragement! You may need to pay by taking & posting pics to keep Scott happy. Your fighters are doing well by the way, thankyou!
Any idea how old/large they should be before I can safely move them on?
Thanks guys! Yay!
