Please log in for more thread options I ended up stripping my female Front a little bit to early but all of
the eggs were wiggling and it's now been five days post stripping and
the eggs sacs are starting to disappear. The 'wigglers' are beginning
to swim a bit. I guess I'll be ok :-)
On Saturday, 23 Apr, I noticed one of my Fronts had an expanded jawline.
I watched her over the cours of the week and noticed that she was not
eating when I fed the tank (220g tank with only five Fronts). On Sat,
30 Apr, I caught her and stripped what I thought would be big 'babies'.
Instead they were barely wiggling egg sacs. They're in a net, hanging
in the 220 with an airstone gently bubbling them, and they appear to be
doing just fine. (whewwww)
I tried to count them and came up with FIFTY-SIX ! ! ! That is a
helluva lot more than I've ever gotten before. Should be interesting to
watch them grow.
I'll see if I can get a decent close up picture this weekend and post it
on my website.
