No fishy shower yet.

In the event they do spawn, I won't do anything for the first round. I'll just check to make sure they actually know what they're doing: that the little guy actually figures out how to fertilize the eggs. Who knows . . . he might miss and try to fertilize the capelin roe in the tank instead.

I'll order the starting cultures I need when the first batch of eggs shows up: so I have the cultures I need for when the second batch of eggs shows up.

Edit: The learning experience would be great. I'm just waiting to hear back from a place in the US to see if they'll ship the starting cultures that I'd require up here.

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
