L144 Spawn

[graham26]

Just had my L144 spawn am i better to leave male with eggs or seperate into a egg tumbler???

 

[st24rsap]

congrats, is it the first time they have spawned?

personally i would leave the eggs with the male if possible and see what happens. The only time i remove eggs now is if there are other fish in the tank that may spook the male and make him eat the eggs, just my opinion

I would leave the male with the eggs as long as they are in a safe-ish place. He should work it out and stay with them until they have hatched and eaten yolk sac. Try not to spook him and just leave him to it. Now they have bred they should breed every 3 weeks or so.

I have only had the pair for about a month so first time spawn for me, was told they had spawned previously but not sure if eggs was seperated or not as previous owner has moved abroad, but male seems happy enough so i think i will leave him to it for now

Good luck, He should be fine.

I was totally lucky with mine. I bought two unsexed baby L144, who happened to grow up to be male and female and then luckily they bred lol.

Congrates on the spawn graham:woohoo::woohoo:

I would also leave them with dad. He might kick them out so keep an eye out for them stuck to the intake

As you said gee male kicked out the eggs as they was just at the wriggling stage i think i will have to invest in an egg tumbler for next time :wb:

 

[Doodles]

It may just be because he is new to it, id give him another chance first.

at least they were fertile!
did you save any wrigglers in a net at all?

 

[graham26]

No none saved there was a pair of albino bristlenose in the tank as well which i have now moved on to pastures new i was thinking maybe the males clashed & it upset the male L144 into kicking out eggs too early but hopefully wont be too long till they breed again with better luck next time
