[Tener ds]

i,ve been reading up on breeding these and i,m not sure but it looks
like at least 1 of the females is fat.been watching her swim around
with the other females and she is a lot fater then the rest off em.
just got to look out for tiny eggs now...:woohoo:

Hows it going?
Rasboras are quite difficult to breed apparently. Theres some info here that might help.

Ive got 12 rasboras and quite often see the flipping over but have never seen any eggs.

oops, forgot to ask you which rasboras you have? mine are harlequins and these are supposed to be fairly difficult to breed.

update:
not sure wot the eggs would look like but there are some behind the bit of slate at the back off the tank.i don,t think there snail eggs cos ive removed all off the little buggers
( i hope ).
the fat girl is also no longer fat...
time will tell.
