now i can count 10 frys!! i am plan to get more females and hope to see more frys spawning. by the way i want to share something. i don't know whether this is will help or not but put some cherry shrimps into my tank. (40 of them, but they show up a lot less than that, feel like 10 :? ) i notice that the little shrimps help to crunch tetra bit into little pieces and that helps little frys to eat it easily. now i don't even have to crunch the tetra bit into a little pieces any more. i just throw the food into the tank and let the little shrimps do their jobs.
ps. thank you John and Jo's zeb. i am so happy right now. the photo is really hard to take since they always swim like a rocket. :lol:

i put them after i saw some little frys. however, i don't think they will eat the eggs. as every time the shrimp pass by the entrance of the cave, male zeb kick them away with his tail. :| even the little frys, they stay with the shrimp now. they share some food. :roll:

some frys died :cry: i don't know what is the factor. may be the food i give them is not small enough. however, i thought they suppose to fine things to eat themselve don't they? can they bite from a normal size of tetra bit? :? not really sure. may be the little shrimp took care of the left over little frys. that's why i don't notice at all.

Yes they can. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, but I'm not sure I know of any breeder that has managed to get 100% to survive... It's terribly sad when you loose some though isn't it :(

But they have spawned, and will do it again :)
