Was doing some regular maintance on the tank and found these eggs stuck in a bit of wood, must have been kicked out the cave by an inexperienced young male.
There is a few fungused eggs in the bundle, i did try squirting them with a turkey baster to see if i could split them up, but they stayed together, though the orangey eggs look to be doing well.

The eggs.

The tank set up.

One of the L129.

The hatcher with sponge filter attached i moved the eggs into.

Congrats Andrew, I sold on my trio recently after they spawned, lovely fish, sad to see them go!

hi,

Try and get hold of some of the small black snails that often hitch hike with plants. They will eat the dead eggs and keep the others clean.

Good luck with them

All the eggs fungused

At least they are starting to lay eggs, hopefully the male will get it right next time !
