well, I've had my big adult O's for about 6 weeks now, and today when i looked they had laid eggs... it could be the recent warm temperatures, it could be because i introduced a new tankmate (a smallish plec) I dunno..

anyway, I THINK they are fertile, heres a couple of pics for the experts to comment.. I've left them in the tank, may as well give them a chance to hatch them..

They look a bit too white to me. Anyway, it will certainly be interesting to see what happens. Do you actually know if you have a male and female?

even if you have an established pair, it may still take them a few attempt to get it right.

Sorry to hear that Tony, I dont know if it is the montitor or my eyes,,, (maybe I should have gone to specsavers) lolololl but the eggs look a bit tan to me.
Can a batch of eggs and fry be raised by the parents in the tank. or do they have to removed for them to grow successfully?.....
