    Can't wait to see the new babies!! They are soo cute when they are little! Ron and I are having 2nd thoughts on the Watchman's were trying to breed... the new babies are going to bee soo tiny and we think they may have had eggs but they don't mouth brood like cardinals so we just aren't sure. We want to try Benngai but haven't found any around here at the LFS' .
    Good luck!!

    As of Sunday, my male was holding again too! The first time he didnt last but 5 days, so we will see. We didnt know that we had a male and female until he was holding the first time, so we were not feeding him extras. This time we tryed to time it out and started feeding extra, and Sunday they did the transfer! We will see what happens!!!

    No babies yet. I checked again this morning. Those fish are so skittish! I didn't get a good look before they darted back into their cave, but the male's jaws were still pushed out. Not sure if it's a new batch or the old batch. LOL

    I was guesstimating that he be ready to spit sometime within the next week, based on how long he held the live batch that I got out. He seemed to hold those for an extra few days.

    I fed them this morning and only the female darted in and out to get to the mysis, so maybe this is a good sign. At the same time, I positioned the flow in such a way that it pushes food right into their cave, so they really need to never come out. ...what was I thinking?? LOL

    I keep a new set of freshly hatched brine ready to go, so I'm ready when they are!!

    And, there are not going to be any babies this time. Papa came out eating this morning....but there are no babies. Unless they are hiding in the cave. I did not tear apart the tank to look. I would be shocked if they were there.

    So back to square one. Time to feed papa 3-4x a day so he doesn't die from starvation!
