Ive only lost one in the last few days and all the ones left are eating well and looking healthy. Most of the small eggs got eaten. One of the upside down catfish went into the cave and the male bloked of the exit and was going mental trying to get it out and loads of the fry fell out and got eaten. Ive moved the fry that where left into a slate cave still in the tank but now the males acting a little wierd he only watches the cave at night and in the day he just leaves them. None seem to be getting eaten though so its ok. Ive got 2 more albino females aswell but their only 2"

Im making a small sump for the tank to held with filtration because they water quality has been hard to keep good and it gives a bit more water volume. The sump is 7G. It doesnt look to good the silicone looks terrible because there wasnt enough room to get to it properly. The silicone is still drying but this is how it looks so far

These are alot rarer than the standard BNs. I should be getting 5 at 1" for £25 including postage.

One of the new albino females died for some reason.I really dont have a clue why its been eating and acting well and evan after it had died it still looked healthy.

All of the new babies are out and swimming about in the 30G. I think the adults are going to breed again the male has been shifting around alot of sand again.

Im pretty sure they are going to spawn soon the male has been clearing out he cave and in and out all day so within the next few days i think ill have some more eggs.

BN pics their between 1.5-3cm long. ill try and get some pics of the ones in the big tank soon but there small and spread out so hard to take pics of.

Ive got another load of eggs. this lost was only 3 weeks after the last lot so there getting quicker. This lot does look smaller though so im wondering if it could be from my new smaller albino female but i think she is a little to small to hold this many eggs so not sure. will have to see if they turn out brown or albino. The other fry are still doing great in the big tank.
