I swaer..she's 'Houdini'  ..I looked later and they were gone again...tried a magnifying glass..nada...when I was feeding the PM....they're on the dang sponge....LOL

Two of my pairs (plats and mana x) have gotten real good at moving their eggs and fry around.  They both are doing a decent job of parent raising too. I find things are starting to move pretty fast around here with these spawns.

It's a sign of pretty good parent raisers ...When I see Mark Huffman at the GCCA, I'm going to grab some more mid sized Anubias...those broad, thick leaves are perfect for them....even if potted....

I picked up some at the swap.  The plats spawned on one after this mornings water change after previously spawning exclusively on the intake tube.  Those are great plants and they were cheap too.

'Houdini' and her mate have managed to raise about 6-8 fry and they're attempting to free swim. I'm really tickled...first pairing, first spawn, and actually doing most of it right in parent raising.  Can't get much better than that....

That is great Jon!

That's awesome Jon. I can hardly wait until my koi start to pair up. It will be sad to have to break them up. they look so pretty in the planted tank. I might have to take out the ones that don't pair up and give the 55 to the ones that do. They just make that tank pop with there bright orange.
