Way the heck too early to tell anything at all, but here are some pictures from tonight. I'm trying to figure out if this one is hydrating eggs. They've been on 2x/day feedings for a while. So, I'll try to bump up the feedings and see what happens. Again, this is probably nothing but I thought I'd document what I'm up to.
 
Sorry about the glass. It's been a long while since I scraped that tank. I'll do that in the morning and try to set the webcam on them.

Oh, yeah. They are fine. I've still never seen them spawn, but they are fantastic fish. Quite fun to watch as they zip around the tank, always in motion.
