    Very nice
    Do you have someone who will take the fry from you once they have grown?

    Could be. Is this their first attempt? It sometimes takes fish a few goes to get it right.

    Hopefully she is guarding wrigglers, that should turn into free swimming fry in a day or so.
    Good luck.

    Ummm.. that sounds promising so lets hold thumbs that she has got wrigglers

    I know my acaras also moved their wigglers into hiding and I thought they had eaten all the eggs
    When Cesar got home he says.. Mom.. you got tons of babies.. which I could still barely see but they had hidden them right at the back of some wood
    So lets hold thumbs

    I think most often it is about 48 hours.
    I hope you have the food ready for them.
