L144s

I have a small groups of L144s, 3M & 4F, today I saw a bunch of tiny babies as they emerged from the cave. I am excited because some of them apparently carry the longfin gene. I was feeding them and I found one lonely egg outside a cave, then it dawned on me, I did see a young female go in a cave with male #2 earlier, getting out the flashlight I see another clutch of eggs. What suprises me is the size of the clutch of eggs vs. the size of the female, obviously the eggs expand once they are laid. Well another 4-5 days and maybe another hatching! I really want to get a line of longfin L144s going.

These guys are very cute. Congrats on the spawn.

Well spawn #2 hatched, it seems male #2 has the "right stuff", but his parenting skills are lacking, all three males took turns fanning the eggs. I have not seen this done before.
