another quick note ,
i was doing some big cold waterchanges and then i did big one with osmosis at that moment there was activity but nothing serious and then i changed abit with cold tapwater and after that again a big cold waterchange with tapwater and the next day the biggest male was guarding eggs.
maybe this is also a trigger going from hard to soft and then back up to hard water??

today on day 24 i lifted the cover that hangs over the caves and i saw 4 fry and still allive,i think there must be way more becuase i have a lot of holes and hiding space in my tank.
by the way rob do you mean they are very vulnerable in the week 1 and week 3 after hatching??or do you mean from ay one when the eggs are laid??
so far they seem to be good and i have been feeding a lot i hope i am not feeding too much.

Congratulations Tariq... This hobby is all about trial and error... And from what I gathered you need all the variables to be perfect to get a spawn... So keep up the good work buddy.
@ Adam:
Wouldn't the world be a better place if L46 did cost a tenner? Atleast that would mean that Zebbies become common as muck and not close to total devastation in the wild eh?

Congrats!
My fry usually dont come out unless I have given food! For some reason the babies are more likley to come out of seclusion to eat then their parents....who knew???
Maybe they would be easier to breed as well!
