I had a look in the filter just now and found one lucky little baby Spotty!

Having spent more time observing the youngsters in the main tank (and correcting what I said earlier on in the thread), I think 2 of the 5 in the main tank are actually closer to 9-10mm, whereas the other 3 are smaller at around 5-6mm. So this looks like more than one spawning. I only have one adult male, so he's obviously getting around a bit!

I am going to grow this fry from the filter on a bit in a separate tank as I doubt it has as much safety sense as the others that have been in their since word go. I have a little 12" tank that I am currently growing some teeny rice fish on in (the tank used to be the S. lineolata grow out tank) so it's going in there till it's at a size where it will be safe from the Schistura balteata.
