ha ha....

I'm using a Nikon D40 just on the macro setting, it's the lens that came with it. Pretty much everything set to auto.

They have not attacked me yet! I'm pretty suprised actually, they are still mellow, I like to feed my fish by hand. We'll see if that changes!!

At what point do people usually take the fry out to raise them? (before or after hatching) It's SO tempting but I really doubt my local LFS has a rotifer culture lol... Who am I kidding, I don't have the time!!

You have to take them out just before they hatch or you can siphon them before they end up in your sump. Then aerate them until they hatch that night. I have 3 mated pairs but am still waiting for eggs.
Keep an eye out when they turn silvery they should hatch that night.

Cool! I don't run a sump on this tank but no doubt they will be sucked into various PHs and hungry mouths.

Maybe next time I'll just bring 'em to you

Well, it seems like my LMB was less of a voyeur and more of a gourmand... Half of the eggs are missing and I'm blaming the biggest pig in the tank!! It's still pretty neat tho, even in just one day the eggs look different, more oval
