Update

Not so the good father now. Last night some of the good eggs disappeared. i decided to remove the slate to the fry tank.That was difficult. he was very aggressive towards me obviously. I left a few eggs that had been scattered into the plants and wood in the tank.The male spent all night looking for the eggs.
This morning he is still scanning the area for thr eggs I removed. A couple of the eggs I had left behind have vanished as well.
The others in the fry tank look fine so far.

Proves the 3 second memory 'theory' is incorrect if nothing else

I guess it'll be trial and error for a while. What's the betting they are soon at it again now the eggs are out?

yep around 10 days which was similar to my angels.

Well here I go again. The eggs now on day 7 are starting to hatch I have woken to find at least one fry.

Which means we need baby pictures.

And we would require pictures. NOW.

Apologies for the terrible pics but they are so small and difficult to capture.

A video is on its way!

Well I can deifnitely make one out. so tiny. How many have hatched so far?

Three have settled on the 'sucker'. The rest of the egss are on the slate. There are four swimming at the moment.

Two on the sucker and the third is just swimming off.(to the right of the hook)

Quick little buggers aren't they haha.

That video is great. That little guy is flying around that tank.

putfile videos never load for me. YouTube works great though... *hint hint*

Water looks pretty clean... ain't they going to need more food than that?

Old java moss? Rotifers?

EDIT: I suppose they're still on their egg sacks right now though, right?

Awwww BABY PUFFERS!!!

Good luck this time around, this is awesome!
