Re: sorry for this test

     I sent the following message to the list yesterday, that I do not =
believe made it through.  I will repeat it below.  Sorry if you have =
already received this. =20

     I have had no posts from the list for the past day or so, so I wonder =
if there has been a problem.

     Here it is:

Hi folks,=20

       I am in need of a bit of advice.  When I awoke on Saturday morning, =
it seemed evident that a pair of nannacara anomala that I keep in a =
community tank had spawned.  The female is guarding a piece of drift wood =
and has black and yellow intense colors in a checkerboard pattern.  I =
cannot see any eggs because a thicket of plants obstructs my view.

      The fish are in a 29 gallon tank with a bunch of other fish.  I also =
have  5 gallon tank, with some fish that I could switch to the main tank.

        In the 29 gallon tank are also 1 big angel fish; 7 pristella =
tetras, 2 pencil fish, 2 rams (altispinosa), 1 rainbow fish and 4 =
ctenopoma ansorgii.

     Will the fry stand any chance in the big tank?

      Can I move the eggs and the mother into the little tank without =
destroying the bond?  If I just move the eggs, I take it the pair is =
likely to spawn again soon, leaving me in the same situation.

       How long do the eggs take to hatch (the temp. is 80 degrees F)?  =
=20

      I have some frozen Baby brine shrimp in the freezer, will this do =
for the fry?

    Any thoughts?
