L134 male with eggs

[blinkywcd]

Hi,

I have had my L134's for about 18 Months now and have grown them from 3 to 3.5 cm to adults I had two males and the first time they attempted spawning the male I would say through inexperience killed the only female i had. So I tried to find some females and I must thank Krystine as she sold me the female that has now spawned with the male.

I don't know how long they have had eggs because I was called away for work for a week so i would say it happend whilst i was away, but all good in my books. I must say my wife had the success because she was the one doing all the hard work looking after all the fish in my absence.

I will try and get some photo's tomorrow to place on this thread but I might just leave the male alone this being his first lot of eggs. i will see how they are and make up my mind in the morning but I don't wish to disturb him to much.

I have also had my Pepermints, albino's and orange spots have young over the last month all growing well in a growth tank, so my wife is doing a great job id say. anyway thats about all for now i wish you all good luck and your fish good health.

Went out this morning and when i got home the male had for some reasn kicked the Eggs out of the cave, so i have placed them in an Egg tumbler to see if they can be saved fingers crossed.

well done. he may have kicked them out from inexperiance. also if you have been shining a torch in the cave then that can make them throw them out or worse (eat them). good luck

Great pic of the eggs, hope they hatch out ok for you

Yeah I have learnt the hard way to just let them be, I try not to disturb them to much once I know they have Eggs. I have a small torch with a red filter on it but I still try not to disturb them and so far so good. I learn more every time a colony breed as we all do.

Just a quick update, L134 Eggs two days after Male kicked them out, you can see the young developing so looks like I might have saved them in time. There is no sign of mould so all good and I will keep my fingers crossed.

Yes they look promising, fingers crossed :thumbup:
