got a surprise this morning and found a clump of eggs outside the cave... took em out to raise by hand and counted somewhere between 25 and 30 eggs.... possibly more as they are in a footy shaped clump... previous best was 34 eggs but only 25 hatched and raised... looking forward to getting more than 5-6 fry from last couple spawns... :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Well done Johnno!!!
Sounds like your zebs are doing very very well, aside from kicking the clutch of course!

Will await updates on how the progress!

turned out to be a bit of a non event - one egg hatched and one wriggler... rest seemed to have died in the egg before hatching... prob the reason the male booted them out in the first place... :)

Brilliant, well done, such a large group! I think my female used to lay quite a few but the male would cull them so he only had 6 or so to raise.

getting that with another group of 46's... 4-6 each time... but i found eggs outside cave again yesterday... bout 24-26 eggs this time but one dead egg attached... so im thinking he may have been trying to remove the bad egg and flicked the lot out... see how this lot goes..... no shortage of fry coming through at moment... found 29 in tank few weeks ago and found another 8 in other group few days ago.... gotta love summer time - spawnfest :)
