bottomdweller_fan Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) OK, so I go to the fishroom this morning and get an exciting surprise. Are these Farlowella eggs and is that dad busy looking after them? Any help would be appreciated!

Vallisneria Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Congrats! Let us know if you get babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller_fan Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks everybody. I'm so excited. I will probably do a photo timeline in my journal. According to Planetcatfish, they should hatch in about 8-10 days. WoooHooooo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 If they're not his eggs (well the eggs that his kids will hatch from) then he's really hoping for some new Nerite roommates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rED O Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 congrads on the spawn. I don't want to be negative here, but if the eggs are white it means that they are not fertilized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller_fan Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 The picture doesn't show all the detail. At the top of each egg is a black area. As the eggs mature they become clearer and you can see the babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobies et al Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 How big is he? Do you know which species of Farlowella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller_fan Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 As far as I can tell, he is Farlowella acus. I would say he is about 5" from the tip of his nose to his tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobies et al Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I've got my fingers and toes crossed! This is exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
