nice! i thought the female was ready to spawn within the week.... you must have good water as she didnt wait!.... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

bit of a challenge raising fry - see how you go... they'll spawn plenty more times so it gives you plenty of chances to get some fry raised...

i feed them viformos a couple times a week... it helps keep the eggs sticky and stuck to the glass.... but they'll eat almost anything.... mix up the vege/protein foods a bit... dont feed too much protein foods...
one food to avoid is bloodworms... untill they are really big adults its prob the only food that doesnt agree with them... knocks them dead overnight sometimes....
good luck with the fry....
