Default my albino Bristlenoses have finally bred..

hi guys,

after quite a long wait, my pair has finally bred...

they probably spawned right after i posted the video clip in bro Fireblade's thread about a week ago... because this morning before i wanted to do water change i realised the male is fanning non-stop, so had to shine a torch light to see if they really spawned..

to my surprise the little ones have already hatched and seemed almost free swimming (no more obvious egg sacs)...

here's a pic of the male guarding the cave...

here's the male inching away for a breather.... not many fries to my surprise.. maybe eaten up? or low hatch rate? bec the female was very filled with eggs, i was anticipating at least 20-30, but seems lesser....

last pic... i look left look right can only estimate around 10 fries...

bro Fireblade, roughly how many fries did u have in the first batch? there's no need to remove the parents right? food for fries? sinking pellets?

waiting for bro Fireblade to give me some tips on how to manage them, they're so small.. and my tank is not bare bottom, so have to be careful when i change water...

old man cannot see the little suckers...
