Where do you keep them? Are they in a bucket or pond?

Hi mattia
They are in the ponds outside so it's pretty cold!
I just picked these two up into the bucket cos I was transferring them to a tank inside (for funs) & the eggs just dropped out.

That's also how people know their fishy are ready to hand spawn

My Red Forrest Jewels just spawned in my four foot tank, not bad as I have only owned them for a week.

Our electric blue female has been placed into the birthing tank....hopefully in the next few days she will spit that mouthful out that she is struggling to hang on to.  This is her fourth mouthful and she is a natural mum, thankfully.  When I see she has a mouthful I wait about 1.5-2 weeks and then put the net in the tank and she swims straight in and I move her into her own tank next door to her normal tank and she does her thing in her own time.  her last mouthful was about 50 fry and she is heaps bigger this time so I am dying to see how many she has.

 

We also discovered the other day that our Sumbu Shell Dwarf had paired up and had babies.  Hubby was doing a water change and checked the bucket and found a fry so we pulled the other fish out of there and left the pair and their fry to do their thing.  First time parents....that we are aware of....so we aren't holding our breath but it is nice to know finally that we have a pair.

 

Oh and guppies and endlers have all bred as well hehehe

Usually it is about 2-3 weeks apparently.  Our girl seems to hold anything from 2-4 weeks.  I have been letting her do her own thing as she is still on her L plates as a mumma.  This lot she is holding now are heading up for 3 and a half weeks so I am watching her closely to make sure she isn't losing too much condition.  She is struggling to hold them in though so it is only a matter of time.

Ctenochromis horei.  The pair that spawned are only 5 and 8cm each so its only a small mouthful but a mouthful non the less.  First time with the species after having kept them before without sucess.
