Thanks people
Yes Andrea...the microworm cultures are going great...theyve so far got electric Blue, Yellows and mangainos fry through and it appears they work really well for praecox rainbow fry as well.

Eggs are still there this am, theres a mix of white ones and grey ones now, the white dont appear fluffy but are probbaly fungused, I hope the parents remove them.

Then white ones are the non fertile eggs.

Not much you can do about them, just hope the parents don't remove ALL the eggs

Good Luck

Well..it looks like theyve hatched. The male is picking something up off the rock and surrounding sand, swimming to a angled hunk of wood thats in the tank and spitting something out on top of it. The female then picks up whatever he's been spitting and carries it down to a small bowl theyve made in the sand and spits something into the bowl. The male then swims down to the bowl, picks something up in his mouth and goes back to the log and spits on the log. The female then picks these things up and goes down to the bowl again and spits.....it goes round and round like this...if you get my drift.

My eye sight isnt what it used to be and I cant seen anything wriggling but Im not surprised (no old man comments Graeme).

All the white eggs are still at the spawning site and all the grey eggs are gone now..
