Its been a little over a week since my last posting so thought I would give an update or those who are interested.
First of the Pi.
After adding the rasboras to the 55,the pair spawned.However the other day due to I believe nosy neighbors getting too close and scaring the fish,the male swallowed.No big deal I have a waterchange planned for tomorrow and will add slightly cooler water to induce spawning behaviors again.
Related macrostoma pair.
The plants are all growing well, and the pair seem to be getting ready for yet another spawn.So far he hasnt held just yet.
Unrelated macrostoma pair.
A few days ago,they spawned.The female started to get a bit too rough for my liking with him.I am beginning to think shes too big for him to properly wrap,which would explain the lack of fry development from them.This gave me the opportune time to use my new birthday present!
Egg tumbler!
I decided to strip the male because of how the female was bullying him.I go about 50 eggs from him.Sadly today I am down to two and ive not figured out if they will hatch or not.I think the female being so large makes it too hard for him to properly wrap her,and fertilize the eggs.Out of the fifty about ten burst and almost all the others fungussed over.Ill be watching for eyes on the last two.Should be tomorrow if they develop.
