I cook the pumpkin a little (about a minute in the microwave in a mug of water). I didn't write down when they were born :oops . I guess about 2 weeks or less though.

I look forward to the pictures of your little ones. :thumb

I have Neons in the 2' with the brown Bn and rummy nose tetras in with the albinos and baby pepps in the 3'. I don't want to add anything else at this stage so they don't eat the fry. I was thinking of getting some small rainbows for the 3' but I think they might eat fry.

Thats great Ken, We are all looking forward to the photos. Did you check outThe egg tumbler thread? if you have taken the eggs away from the boy it may be worth putting them into an egg tumbler or at least in a fry saver with a good flow of water from an air stone. Good luck.

My biggest albino girl is looking gravid again and sitting on top of the boys cave so I will see what happens after tonights water change. It is however going to be warm and fine all week so the weather will not help trigger them.

The brown fry are all good and eating like crazy little rabbits :thumb

I have more wiggling eggs in the albino tank. I saw them on the gravel so I scooped them up into my tumbler. I used the uplift into the fry saver that has only 1 fry (now 2.5-3cm) and somehow a few eggs must have managed to get up through the mesh and got lifted into the fry saver. some look good and some look a little bent. I think that either the abino boy bred with the brown girl thats in that tank or the brown boy (still small) bred I don't know. Anyway some of the wigglers have some colour and some don't but maybe just too small to tell yet.

I still have brown dad in with the kids in the tiny tank but now the sub dominant male in the 2' is in a cave fanning away so I will see soon if he has eggs. The brown fry are going well. I measured one at 15mm today.

Sorry no pictures yet. :blush
