My maroons have been spawning for years now, food for the other critters when they hatch. Some day I may give raising them a go too, but don't have the phyto cultures & rotifers going to do so. It's fairly work intensive.
Better to wait for a while after the first spawn anyway. Give your maroons a bit more time to perfect their routine. Once they start spawning they'll likely continue with a break of only a few days between hatching & the next spawn.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking too. Family was hoping we would have a tank full of Nemo's soon. I really don't need the extra work, so I'll let nature take its course.
