Thanks for your optimisim.... I think I would be extremely surprised if any hatched and have survived...

But then again.... I did have a baby guppy survive in this tank for about 2.5 weeks. Very smart little fellow he was, never venturing out from under some java moss that he'd found to hide under ...

:cry: :cry: Well it's only been a few hours since my last update post but.... sadly all the eggs bar a few are all gone... I don't know what happened to them.

Earlier they were there... but now practically none left...

Oh well.... maybe next time.... when the tank is abit better set up and there ...

Hi Again Martin

No, the eggs when I look at them are more of a yellowish off-white colour. Definately not white like this font colour.

I am thinking the same about the predators if any babies manage to hatch which I am thinking is less & less likely. The amount of eggs on the side of the aquarium ...

Thanks Martin for your comments...

So far all fish are ignoring the eggs except the Gastro's. And I believe they are either eating them or helping to dislodge them from the side of the aquarium as there is definately less & less eggs there as time goes by.

If the eggs to become unstuck from the ...

Ok.... more pics....

Firstly the 'borneos' in the community aquarium..

Hi Emma, Yes the eggs are still there but there is not as many. I am not sure if the borneo's are eating them or if they are being blown off the side of the aquarium by the flow of the water.

I have got more pics to put up once i've reduced their size.

Am I blind or this image from above
shows a Cheni? Or is it an Ocellatus? Certainly not G. Ctenocephalus/G. Scitulus


There are Two Borneo's on the barrel... I believe (but i'm no expert) that the one in the foreground is a G. zebrinus and the one in the background is a G. Ctenocephalus/G ...

Could it be cory eggs? Don't they usually lay on the glass?

I actually wouldn't really have any idea (I will have to do some more research, so thank you for the suggestion)

However, the cory's have taken to hanging out in the plastic plant pot caves or under the crevices of the ...

Morning All (well at least morning for me) :lol: :lol:

Thank you all for your comments.... They are much appreciated...

Now I will try to answer some of your questions (before i've got to head off for my meeting) :roll: :wink:

When you have time tomorrow (or is that today?) can you ...

Seeing as it is now 1.42am here where I live & how i've got a meeting to attend to at 9am, I am going to go & get some much needed sleep.

I will check back in tomorrow (or is that today ) for any more comments...

Thanks again for your input

Oh.... Thankyou for the Congratulations... too

No, none of the other fish have shown any interest what-so-ever in the eggs... the only ones that hang out around the eggs is a Gastromyzon or two.. It looks like they kind of patrol the eggs.

I never saw any spawning behaviour, although I had noticed that two of the Gastromyzons where always ...

Yup, it's a 250 Litre aquarium with the following:

8 Red Blue Columbian Tetra's
10 Coloured Widows (rescued not brought)
3 Madagascan Rainbows
8 or 9 Black Neon Tetras
1 Paradise fish (although he's definately not happy in the tank & am looking to move him elsewhere)
7 guppies (males & females) any ...
