as you may / may not know got rockers suvattis 2 weeks ago yesterday. I was away on holiday but flown back iinto the country just to see this. As far as i can see there is about 30 eggs unfortunatly a few have been scattered because my neighbour tried to feed the male and he got flustered......

yep the large yellow blobs i know they look like sand but if you compare them to the green gravel bits that slipped in the sand also.... about 20-30 that i can see hes gaurding them well though..... i can clearly see about 20 are fertilised. im picking up some small tanks this weekend tankfully so ill get them rocking straight away and get some fry tanks on the go...

the male today isnt as agressive and is literally sitting on the eggs not hovering over them. i really dont know if they are ok time will tell after the weekend ill have 3-4 more tanks so i can take the eggs out myself

If they're fertilized, can't you still collect them?

In am in poland now i travelled home to split the male / female she was a little beat up. luckilly its only 2-3 hours to and from and £1 + Taxes for flights.Ill be back home in 4 days now.....I will probably have a chat with Ian about his breeding methods on Saturday i didnt think they would start two weeks into being rehomed.....the male hasnt ate in a week and a half also so i am keane for him to eat but i think its normal for him to go on strike before mating.... another strange thing when they were courting apparently they turned white on there side... i dint see this as they are there normal brow / chocolate coulr all last night. my neighbour is watching them now ive asked him to take the partition out again. apparently only a few eggs can be seen now if any fry hatch / survive ill collect them if not ill wait till the next time round and ill have a 1x1x1 setup ready to take the eggs out as soon as they are laid
