Congrats! Are you planning on moving them to another tank and let them hatch?
Not this time. I have heard that the first few hatches don't turn out so well. I have a piece of tile just on the other side of their nem and they passed that up for the side of the tank. Oh well. I am pretty excited though.

:lolspin: funny.
congrats. its fun trying to raise the fry. i would let atleast 8 batches go and try to feed them more. maroons are machines and will lay nests up to or more than 1500 eggs. the eggs will hatch in 6 days in water over 80f.

There is no reason to let 8 batches go if you are interested in raising the fry. The first 3 ish should be more than fine if you are feeding the broodstock well.

How's the eggs doing?
They have shrunk rather than grown in size. I don't think my male fertilized them correctly. He is still tending to them but I don't expect them to hatch. Plus we were knocked out of power for about 24 hours, the tank temp dropped to 74, I'm sure that didn't help matters.
So the first round didn't hatch but we have a round two! 195715195716
Twice as many eggs!
