I have a successful suvattii pairing!!!

Rocker wrote: Another interesting observation and thought. I always thought that the male after a while of gaurding would blow the eggs forcefully to scatter them. At first, because they dissappeared from the slate I thought he had eaten them. But they would hatch amongst the plants and appear at times. I then thought it was bad parenting on his behalf as I watched him scatter other batches of eggs blowning them off the slate too.
After raising them myself I notice that many struggle to free themselves and after a while die.
Further eggs that I have seen I have helped by blowing them myself with a pipette. My success rate has increased alot.
The latest batch I am talking about contain around 50 healthy fry.

How mush are you selling them for (in US$)? How can you be sure they'll go to good homes? That's what I'd be most worried about.
