Eggs Found for L144

[Wackytpt]

I was trying to catch my L144 out from my tank and I accidentially found eggs in one of the apisto caves. There are like 8 to 10 eggs clinging on the side of the caves.

Male guarding eggs (Pardon for the blur picture)


I didn't take the eggs pictures as I don't want to disturb the male.

Hopefully I will see fries.

Will update if there is progress.

Can I ask how long the eggs will be come fries?

Cheers

Wow.... congrats bro, normally it takes 5 days. But you didnt know when the eggs were laid, but not too worry as dad is there to guard and fan the eggs. just and and see..

Will wait for your good news!

[Wackytpt]

Hopefully the male is not spooked when I try to catch it out just now.

Wow, you even manage to spawn them in an apistogramma cave! Congrats bro. Usually a first timer male "might" eat the eggs. IF (touch wood) it does eat it, don't worry cause once they start, they'll never stop.

[Wackytpt]

Took a snap shot when the male left the caves.

Not sure if he will go back in.

Interesting, the eggs are sticky. Congrats!

[Wackytpt]

Think the male shift the eggs.

Last check before I left the house, male is back fanning the eggs.

This is so exciting.

Once the parents are disturbed, I will remove all fries Because their defensive nature will require them to 'makan' all fries. Anyway, that's what i will do.

Congratulation! last but not least. Give me one fry! very hardworking one. scrap algae like no tomorrow.

Congrats on your successful breeding!

[celticfish]

WOW!!

You've graduated from a "fish keeper" to a fish breeder!
Congratulations wackytpt!!

[ranmasatome]

dont say yet... they aren't hatched yet.. haahaha..
can see he still have itchy fingers go and open the cave and take pictures. lol.
Good luck wackytpt!! good on you for getting them to breed.. now lets see if the young survive! You will need all the luck to study them and learn how to breed them correctly.
Thanks for sharing.. quite interesting indeed.

[Wackytpt]

Thanks for well wishing but hold on the congratulations.

As mentioned Rammasatone mentioned, I can't qualify to be a fish breeder unless the eggs become fries.

Was a bit itchy hand to take picture as this is my 1st time breeding plecos.

Cheers

Bro how big your tank, and any other fishes around??

Congrats to your breed!!!

[Wackytpt]

The tank size is the 5plan 2ft tank with ada soil and sudo sand.

There is a pair of apisto wilhelmi, green laser cories, 2 barbus caben & 4 pieces of L144.

Not yet ... Need to rise the fry to at least 1 month before you upgrade yourself as a breeder .

[zapbranigan]

if they "do" hatch, better remove them earlier (5 - 6 days after spawning) else they're gonna be wilhelmi food

[drakeho]

Should be day six now Any updates of the fry ?

[Wackytpt]

Eggs didn't make it. But there seems to be new actitivities again.

Will update if there are new updates.

Cheers
