CT Spawn...

[PitGurl]

No signs of ick. I really don't know what happened to his fins. They were normal when he was put in the spawning tank. I am starting to see a bit of movement in the eggs. Now comes the worry over the dreaded fungus.

Try to get a magnifying glass to really be sure before any real drastic changes.

We've got fry . They are hatching right now. Freebie is looking a little better this am.

I knew they both were going to pull through. I love to watch ct fry grow the most. IMO they're the most exciting.

As I was leaving for work I spotted around 4 fry on the bottom of the tank. The eggs in the cup were about to hatch too. When I peaked in there I saw a bunch of little black eyes looking back at me. No signs of fungus yet, when I get home I'll start removing the bad eggs. I just hope the fry can find something to grab on to until they are free swimming. I'm afraid when I get home I'm going to find the bottom covered in fry .

My male never made a bubble nest, and my fry turned out OK. Just hang in there, it should turn out well.

Congrats, they should hatch. The slow ones might get fungus, but the early ones should make it.

Sorry about your guy. You did the right thing by taking him out. Hope he makes it.

Well most the eggs that are going to hatch have. I tried to remove as many of the bad ones as I could but it is almost impossible right now. I don't want disturb what is left of the nest because of the fry clinging to it. Some of the fry are hanging from the surface of the water and some are in the nest. A few of the eggs in the cup also hatched. So far I see only 6 or so on the floor. So far the count is 10-15 fry give or take a few, hard to tell right now.

Best of luck,*sends healthy thoughts to fry*. As I said before, my fry never had a bubble nest, and they are doing well, they are almost 2 months old now.
