Darnit, I haven't even gotten to do the "back story" on these!
10-29-06 - 11:05 PM, We've had the first confirmed Red Scooter Blenny Spawning!
Actually looks like a large spawn considering the female's size...maybe 200-250 eggs. All sticky...only saw 1-2 loose eggs.
The rise, the dance, all like our mandarins with one exception - these guys have the good sense to start their spawning dance FROM the tank floor, not from 3-4" below the surface! Unlike our mandarins, these guys maybe stopped 1" short of the surface...it was a very quiet spawn, no splashing!
I'm gonna put some eggs under the QX5 in a few minutes here...the rest will be incubated at 82F stagnant as have been most of my successful hatches. I'll be in the office, so I may miss hatching tomorrow...keep your fingers crossed!
Matt
