well done mate , that is a first recorded spawning of ornatipinis

feed the fry newly hatched brine shrimp once they are free swimming , they may provide feeder eggs.

so glad you managed this , something that we though was going to be near impossable , really well done.

if you need any help just pm or mail me at colin.bradbury1@ntlworld.com i will try and help where i can ,but you are now in unknown territory

very interesting the eggs are at the surface , till now they where assumed mouth brooders

cheers col

im holding you to that promise! btw, are you still going to that cichlid show you were talking about? or you changed your mind?

ok well i have been watching them for a while, i have to close the kitchen door and sit on the floor for them to act normal......theres one which is much larger thicker and chunkier which i just persume is the male, the other is smaller,thinner and more slender.....well he has been on consant watch under the feeding ring and if i creep up to have a look he will lunge forward...I have removed two white eggs which have turned in the last hour, My filters flow is aimed at the floor, should i leave it like this?just wondering about water flo as theres nothing at surface, much like a mill pond, also i have duck weed which has now covered 3/4 of the surface so hopefully if they hatch they have somewhere to feel safe and hopefully not get sucked into the filter. As filter is one of the jewul filters which has two intakes on being at suface but the weeds covering the entrance........I have not done any waterchanges since before christmas...temps around 18c and all they eat is dried meal worms....
The female still swims around with the male but has nothing to do with the eggs...
