| They finally bred last night. I have been waiting for them to get comfy and breed for like 3 months. Add another BAP point to my list!  Keeper |

You ain't kidding! First batch I missed and she spit in the tank. So much for them. Second batch she spit perfectly in my breeder trap. About a week later the fry all disappeared completely. The only thing i can figure is that one of the parents jumped into the trap and ate the fry and then was able to jump out before I noticed! they haven't spawned since then.
Once she spits this brood the fry and trap will be moved to a grow out tank where they won't be hassled.

| BAP point? Only BAP I know is Bandwidth Allocation Protocol setting for Cisco routers.
Congrats on the wee ones though. |
