Black Occ. Female x Orange Occ. Male . . . Fry worth trying to raise?

[Enigma]

I wonder . . . if I do give them a tile or clay pot . . . will they stop sweeping the sand? I've got sugar sand in this system, and the sandstorms they're generating are really significant. I could hardly see to the back of the tank last night, and the tank is only 18" deep.

Key thing is, you need to remove the eggs after 8 days on avarage, some a day earlier, some a day later. Look for the fry to turn shiny silver.

You need a good supply of rotifers ready to go, as for the first 4 days (min) they are too small to eat Baby Brine shrimp.

If they make it past day 7 (metamorph), you are good to go, as the mortality rate is lower after that
