Hehe… Pictures sometimes say more than words. I am happy and thankful for the help I have got, and it is a good feeling if I can help as well or give some help back. So it’s great if my pictures help. After all it is to the benefit of the fish.
A question: My pair has laid eggs 5-6 times (I think). But I have not been so lucky to actually see when the female laid the eggs. But I know she only needs max. 2 minutes to lay about 400 eggs.
It sounds like you have seen when she lay the eggs, could you tell some detail?
Yesterday I think I say the male “fertilize” the eggs. (Laughing, I don’t know the correct English saying, hope you understand). I had just turned away for 2 minutes (grr), then the eggs was laid and the male was “running” quick all over and around the eggs. After some time he started to slow down and just fan the eggs as normal. I’m guessing he was “Fertilizing” the eggs, but it is just a guess.
I made a little 4mb film 2 show:

On the website is the same video at 14mb.
The fry at the java fern seems very small if it is 20 days old. I would have guessed, that it is a egg that has hatch in the parents aquarium.
I let my eggs hatch whit the parents, when they starts to hatch, I just fish them up with a net and I also get some when I clean the sand. The parents don’t eat them.
About the pictures, I’m using a Canon 350D. When I move the fry, I try to use a little bowl, and take pictures when the fry is in the bowl.
Here is a new one:

How are the little ones doing? Do you give them Artemia? Artemia = Brime shrimp I’ve been told. I can see the fry eating them from day one. Only problem is to have enough of them.
This became a log writing… sorry I’m “bussing” ehm... "busting in"

like this, it is just so interesting to follow and exchange information whit another person. No one in Denmark has been able to bread these fish yet.
