huge spawn (pics added 5-4-13)

had an amazing amount off eggs from one 397 spawn this week... found big bunch eggs outside the cave so i popped them in a siv over airstone and 4 days later started to hatch so i moved them to a fry saver with airstone... in the morning i removed 7 still born fry.... and then started counting - several times - and got 59-60 fry... so a spawn of 66-67 eggs... has anybody else had a spawn this size before.... ??? :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Usually no more than 50 from my old breeders, waiting for these new ones to grow and get started. Congrats on the big spawn mate.
