Today wile feeding my baby cardinals I noticed the pair of true percs were laying eggs again for the second time. The first time they laid the eggs on the back glass and this time they laid on the side of the pot in typical upside down fashion.
The last time was 12-27-12 so almost 3 months ago. Since then I rearranged their part of the tank which may have been the reason why it took them so long to breed again. Last time they were eating the eggs almost as fast as they were laying, this time unfortunately do to where they are laying the eggs I cant tell if they are eating them or not. The only thing that I can really do is see if the male is doing his job over the next few days, if he is then I can assume that they did not eat them this time. Either way I am not set up for these guys this time around because I don't have any rotifer and secondly I will be out of town early next week on what should be hatch day. So I will not be attempting to raise this batch but I am hoping that they will get on a more regular schedule and I will try the next back.
I was hoping that my false percs would have eggs first that way I could practice with them but it doesn't seem like I will be that lucky.
I took a video on my cell phone and I am trying to upload it to photo bucket, so with any luck I will have a video up soon.
