    Could not have timed it any worse if I tried, 2 of my pair have decided to spawn this afternoon, with me leaving for Cape Town in the morning. Hatching tank running and we will hope for the best.

    Good luck.

    Two of my angels also started spawning in my big tank, with the obvious result of the eggs becoming a snack for the other fish.

    Moved them to a dedicated breeding setup yesterday, if all goes well they should spawn again in a few weeks.

    Hi Guys. I am back and the outlook is not good. Lots of eggs did not hatch and will need to see if we can come right with those that have hatched

    Update on Fry..... ALL DEAD!!!!! I am so the hell in it is just not true. I have not been getting great results with my brine shrimp over the last while, so my Son bought me some Liquifry No1 and 2 for when they are bigger. I tried No.1 and with in 4 hours, I had nothing left. I went to the pet shop in Boksburg and showed the Man the bottle, he said it is still in date and therefore nothing he can do, he could not even exchange the bottle as they are now out of stock. This is a product is made by interpet in the UK and I am trying to find out who the supplier is this side, as yet nothing. Anyone else use this product? Any comments?

    Looks like I will be perfecting my Brine Shrimp hatching technique over the next few weeks. Saying that who supplies non iodated salt around Benoni

    @howard, sorry to hear about your babies....

    We also battled to get the brine shrimp eggs to hatch for our Geo babies, not sure if it was us doing something wrong or eggs that are old?

    Then we discovered tha Wazeer's received frehly hatched shrimp i think usually on a Thursday and that saved all the babies.
    We bought for the week and they kept well in water in the fridge

    We also used the fry food from Tetra and that worked very well although the shrimp was deffinately their favourite food

    Good luck with the next lot.

    Sorry to hear about that.

    Mine spawned yesterday in the breeding tank about a week after I moved them (first two times they spawned in the community tank).

    Now just keeping an eye on things to see how it goes.

    Some of the eggs (about 5%) have turned white.

    I know very little about this except what I have read online, learning as we go.

    Will update as it goes...
