That's awsome Jon, mine spawned a few days ago in there new home. I left the spawn up to them. They decided they were too hungry to raise them.

My male is a beast. He's easily the biggest angel I have. And one of the biggest I have seen. I'm sure there so much happer in the bigger planted tank. They don't hide as much as they did and there colors are so nice with the foliage in the tank.  I'm hopeful they'll parent raise again.  They did once before but seem to lose interest. I'm thinking they didn't like it in the smaller tank.

My slate (mana x X plat) has just a few left on it also.  The others have left or fell off try to free swim.  I'm thinking about poofing them off too so I can clean up a little bit.  I have quite a few on bottom but they are trying to swim off of it.

Do you siphon them out or use a turkey baster? I've already pulled any dead eggs etc...  I've been very diligent with this spawn.  All I have are trying to free swim and I expect that to happen by the end of the day.

My male is huge also. I swear he's still having occasional growth spurts.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

LOL...I'm thinking so too....either that or the female is shrinking.....Sta Isabel's get bigger than either the Rio Negro or the Manacapuru.....good blood ;D
