My pair of Marlboro Reds have decided to do some gardenning.
Well lets just say they thought the Amazon Sword leaf needed some decorating.

Bad News: The eggs lasted 2 & 1/2 days before going fungus or falling off. I would say this was largely due to the eggs being placed on a sword leaf that did have a small amount of algae on it.
Good News: I repositioned the breeding cone into the same area, and as of 3 hours ago, they have laid and fertilised anything up to 250 eggs... they are everywhere, and are nice and dark coloured (fertile)...
Now, here comes the waiting game...

Pro you should post up more pics of them and your tank set up. I just recently set up my new planted tank for my adults which arrive in several weeks time.

so what the heck are people talking about "breeding cones" if they breed on regular plants?
if you love your fish: do not over crowd
