Very nice Krista - FTS look awesome.

This is all apart of their daily antics - mating practices, I really wouldn't worry about it. The larger one will become the female. That is cool you have raised these from little ones.

Thanks snake I am really good for missing things like that.

I think it would look great if you had an arch or something like that going to the wall. It looks to square right now, don't get me wrong, I think there is a lot you could do with it. Keep the pictures coming.

Thanks Guys and Thanks Bang Guy for the pictures - great reference - I was watching them today and looks like at least 40 - are water changes necessary at this point.

This morning I roughly counted 30 alive and swimming well, happy with this for the first time, keeping my fingers crossed.

Tail dance is a good sign - what kind and size are the clown, you will definately know when they lay eggs can't miss them.

OK so I transfered them into a small tank, I was able to keep the eggs submerged through the whole process. I have the piece of slate on an angle leaned against the side of the tank. At first I had an air stone but I found that the bubbles were sticking to the eggs, I took the air stone off...
