Looks like the spawn got thinned out some. About half of it initial size.

The craziness continues! They still have a mess of fry and guess what..... that's right they are laying more eggs!

I was quite surprised this morning when I turned the lights on. I saw her tube down. Last couple days her belly has looked bigger than normal. I just thought she was getting more food than normal with me putting in food for the fry and her eating some of it. I was wrong. Night feeding I saw the pair taking turns swimming over to that pot. I look over and sure enough we have eggs.

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, look thru the side of the tank..... head meet desk...desk meet head...

So I take a gander and WOW they have a ton of eggs in there.

And still laying more......

Wow! You going to remove the older fry or just let nature take its course?

Thinking of moving them to the 46bowfront now since it is empty.

Well the eggs are starting to either hatch out or get eaten by Casper/Goldie or the last batch of fry still in there.

 

[Jexnell]

Well I had no choice, i had to separate Goldie, Carpet was being a complete a@@ hat to get and tore up some. So she is in the 55gal for rest and relaxation. Hope it will go ok when I reintroduce them.

Been two hours and Goldie has claimed half of the 55 for herself. Everyone else is staying on the other side...
