No eggs witnessed :(... but I was looking at some of the Chilli Rasboras while I was eating dinner and I noticed one of them had a stripe and wasn't all that red... So I got up and got a closer look and look what I found:

I count 6 little guys, but there is plenty of room for more to be hiding... Any idea how old they are to be this size? Has to be at least a week or two minimum...

Here's my pictures!

The two mothers in the trio, which one laid the eggs, nobody knows.

You can see the females have just been swollen hopefully carrying more eggs...

And here the little guys are

Hanging out with the little chilli rasboras:

As you can see, it's quite planted, needs to be trimmed back BADLY. And this is after I gave away huge amounts of plants just a couple weeks ago.
The four leaf clovers are getting out of hand too with their runners. Green beans for dinner tonight, plecos are happy.

Been feeding a lot more frozen foods lately which I think helped, as you can see here this is a brine shrimp (this pic is a few weeks old, it was going to be my POTM submission but I listened to the gf and submitted a different one):

Still seeing them do the dance A LOT. Old thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11286

Re: Emerald Tetra Fry!

Very cute! I am so jealous of everyone having babies. I am gonna have to get me some live bearers of some sort....or locate me a male frog (I've been trying, but all females everytime I go to the store) and see if I can get my frogs to have babies. My last female/male set of frogs laid eggs once that I saw, but they were ate up :(

Re: Emerald Tetra Fry!

I'm pretty excited about the tetras, I wanted to get the harlequin rasboras to breed, but I could never get much activity out of them.

I got the tetras at the last gsas auction, would be kind of cool to sell the fry at the next one
 
Re: Emerald Tetra Fry!

Congrats!! Those fry look pretty awesome!

But I'm a bit confused.. Aren't those emperor tetras? Did autocorrect just think that you meant to spell Emerald, when you really meant emperor?
