2009 Fifth Spawn

Post by TwoTankAmin »

The storms continue plus I did a fry hunt a few weeks ago and removed the 18 largest offspring to the new growout tank. I have always felt that there is a point in a breeding tank where the number of offspring discourages spawning.

I must be right because I have a dad on eggs in the most prolific breeding cave. There is also a male plastered inside the last cave where spawn #4 occured. My feeling for several days has been he behaves like he is on eggs, but its the smallest cave and it is impossile to see. So there is a small chance I actually have spawns 5 and 6.

ps- I moved 5 L-201 and about 25 barely free swimming fry to their own tank yesterday :-)

Potential spawn #6 was a false alarm :?
