We have a mated pair of fish in our tank and they had eggs. The dad carries them in his mouth for 23-29 days. Well he is a bad dad and eats them all the time. So we bought a egg rocker to try to get the fry. Well on Jan. 5th we had another batch of eggs, I netted daddy out and put the eggs into the rocker. They are almost hatched. Sometime this week I will have some new babys for our tank. They had about 30 eggs and sadly only 5 made it. I think partly because they were clumped together. They need to be fed baby brine shrimp until they understand that they can eat frozen foods. Its been pretty cool watching the eggs develop.
