This is my fifth spawn. The first 4 was not successful and I'm hoping that this is the time I will see some babies.
My current water premeter: Temp 86F, PH: 6.6 . Any suggestion please? Do I need to slow down the powerhead to adjust the current? Lower the temp? more frequent water change? Do you think water change will stress the dad? I remember that it happened one time. The dad kicked out the eggs as soon as I did partial water change.
I learned that combination use of black water abstract and spawn aid triggered this spawn.
Another spawn...

Sorry, never heard of it at this side of the big pond
Don't change anything on your waterparameters or setup at the moment and wait for the wigglers to do frequent small waterchanges (3x a week 10-15%)
Good luck with this spawn!

When I came home tonight, I found two eggs being kicked out. This happened previous 4 times. I don't why the dady keeps doing that. I collected them and put them into a breeder case as I did before. Let's see what happens this time. The dady is still in his cave. I'm suppose there is still some eggs in the cave. Let's pray...
