Well I hatched a set of eggs on the 24 jan they seemed to be there for ever, I'm not sure if there laying continuously ( possible due to being kept in a group) or if I just need to pay more attention Any way they looked developed so I hatched them, had a lot of fry, but suffering with big die offs as with my other elecantinus sp, wondering if I need to get a proper fry system set up with filtration. Or if I'm missing something http://i177.photobucket.c...9-00000047DC7FAE95.mp4
