Yes,
He goes through the whole spawning ritual. But he must have been shooting blanks.
Only on the last spawn did the eggs catch.
They will be spawning any day now. Now I'm all excited. Lol

Well, they spawned on Friday night. And today we have wigglers.
I separated about half of the eggs on Saturday to another aquarium. This should be fun.
