My L309 have spawned :clap::clap: The eggs were found on Saturday outside the cave and a few had been predated on, the 20 or so eggs were placed in a fry saver but over the last 2 days half have gone bad. The remaining 10 eggs are looking good and should hopefully hatch from tomorrow onwards. I'm very pleased to say the least :D

Cheers
Gemma

I never see mine either, there was no trigger at all, they get a water change every other day and they share the tank with a few corys and some baby bn's, the eggs were larger than my common bn's too.

oh dear, well hopefully better next time. perhaps they were kicked out for a reason.
I usually add a shrimp or two in the fry saver as thet halps to stop fungus spreading.
