Waah hey, well done Mikey & John.
9 days is going to be a long time to wait Mikey, but hopefully worth it!
Dad knows best so good luck.

cheers stevie
yep i havent looked again honest
counting down the days nervious reck

It is common for many seasonal spawners (wet/dry season types) capable of and ready to spawn to do so when moved to a completely new tank. To them its just like changing seasons. This is especially true if the new tank has softer and cleaner water in it. My bet is the change in params triggered your new ones.

And congrats

Congrats Mikey and John

thanks to everyone
early days fingers grossed tho

hi all it seems i might have somthing speical going on in the other half of the tank
with the 3 younger 1,s male has trapped female in the back of his cave
fingers crossed
all is well so far with the bigger group nothings been kicked out anyway

sos dad has kicked wrigglers out 8 so far
still got egg sacks iv put them in hatchery in the tank and covered 1 side with filter mat to reduce flow of filters
on them will they be ok

I raised several like that without probs, also lost some...
Guess now only time will tell, nothing more you can do, just make shure there is sufficient flow in the hatcher and keep the hatcher clean.
Good luck.
