new spawn

[BigJohnW@webtv.net (John Wubbolt)]

Hello All

I didnt think anything outside of my aggies seemed interested in
spawning in this outrageous heat, but low and behold, i noticed last
night my group of Nanacara Taenia, that i picked up at the ACA, had
different areas of the tank to hang out in.   I noticed that one female
had taken on that nice dark checkerboard pattern, of a brooding female.
Looking a little closer, i saw about 15 or so free swimming fry, not
only had they spawned, but now had free swimming fry.   Guess with all
the floating plants and flower pots ,  i hadnt even noticed they had
spawned.   Must have been the hormones in the water, because while
looking at the brooding female,  i noticed that my male betta Edithae
was holding too.   I used the tank originally for a quarantine tank for
both the trio of Betta Edithae and the group of Nanacara Taenia.   Now
at least i know what i can sucessfully keep together without any deaths!
