Second successful spawn.

I may have finally got this zebra breeding thing figured, well I think I may have. These are pictures of the seven fry from my latest spawn, they are 11 days old now and seem to be doing well. I started out with nine but two died at only a day old.
One day old.
Five days old.
Ten days old.

Thanks Mindy and Jerms.
It certainly is exciting to finally have a good number of fry survive, don't worry Mindy your time will come. Your colony is still fairly new and they are probably still trying to establish a pecking order.
Jerms, each shot is the number of days from when they hatched and not from when they were laid by the female. Sorry I wasn't too clear on that one. I had no intention of taking the fry from the male so soon but I found three wrigglers in the main tank so I decided to take the remaining ones from him, I didn't want to chance it.
Regards.

Thanks Shell.
Luckily triggers are no longer needed in the tank that this spawn came from. Just regular maintenace and feeding and that's pretty much it. It's a totally different story in the other tank I've been trying like hell to get them going again since the death of the Alpha male but it's not happening. I'll have to be more patient and I'm sure they'll start up again.
