Hi all,

The eggs laid this time have produced babies!
Very nice Christmas present!
I saw 3 tiny fish today....thought I saw one last week but it was out of
sight and I thought it must have been a bit of foliage.....3 strong looking
babies at least though

Congrats,

If you get lots. a good and cheap food is dried & rolled peas.
Go to a local pet shop that does general rabbit and guinea pig food.
You can usually get the rolled peas seperatly.

Thanks..so far I have seen 4 at the same time, but hard to know for sure as
the tank is heavily planted.
I have seen a (now very) large kuhli loach that I have not seen for months.
Fully grown now I think! Would it take small ancistrus? It is certainly
bolder!, perhaps lured by the live "food".

I expect you have lots more, if not it won't be long :)
Once they start they do it about monthly.

Would it take small ancistrus?

Very unlikely but possible.
More likely is that it ate some of the eggs.

It is certainly
