Well, I removed my rosy reds the other day and added some platies and guppies. Now I have around 100 eggs that appeared overnight on a large piece of slate and no way to protect them from the other tank inhabitants. I believe there may have been way more but Binky prolly ate them. My large female is way skinnier now though.
Apparently this is ultra rare in aquaria, so I will be documenting with photos Tonight. Do you guys think i should move my betta to a breeder box and steal his 5 gallon setup for the fry? If I had breeder net I would just move the eggs, but I really dont and I have a job interview in 1.5 hours.
Tank parameters-
PH 5.5-6.2 (not kidding, out of the tap at around 5.9-6.0, adjusts its self lower or higher in a day or 2)
Moderate softness, not exactly soft enough for discus, but close
temp is a constant 82 degrees.
It has rained for the last 2 days, just like the last time I bred these.
I have actually decided to run to the local pet store only 10 minutes away and grab a breeder net for the baby ottos.
