Male swallowed the eggs today, after almost a week of holding. Hope he gets better the next time.

It takes practice and heavy feeding before the spawn. Be patient with him.

These guys spwaned again, this time when i was away. I doubt the male will hold full term this time as well, cos i had just started to fatten him up a few days prior. Plus he appears interested in the food being fed.
