Mike,
That's great effort mate, especially after going through the ordeal of flying across the continent. Pity the aggie is a bit small, probably expect them to reach maturity around mid-end Jan.
They should take around 5 days to hatch, watch out for wigglers now.
Any photos?
Thomas.
My male baenschi from Thomas has a long fine thread coming from his bum. Does that count as a spawn?? :lol: :lol:
Shes spawned in an upturned pot so its a bit difficult to see in there (I got a shock when i had a look a few days ago and saw eggs, wasnt really expecting them) so ive left well alone since then..may have to wait until free swimmers before I know for sure that theyve got through...

Discovered some eggs from one of the pairs of A. aggassiz tefe today when i got home from work...all going well here at the moment... :D
Mike
What kind of secret formula are you feeding them - was pretty sure these tefe are a bit small for that kind of action.
Are you giving them viagra for fish - only available with your local Vet's prescription :)

Not sure why Thomas...I am just a huge manly man...maybe its rubbing off on the fish (although I hope not too much rubs off as I really dont have much manly manness to spare) :D

I had the same problem a little while ago with an Orange Flash so you may be right. Time to hit the whole tank with something. I'm planning on giving the trio thier own tank soon instead of the community tank.
Would that Octozin stuff help with this kind of thing?
i find the change in tank enviroment etc often triggers spwaning
