Nijenssi Spawning
My Nijenssi just had free swimming fry April 27th. I had a club member come
over on the 7th of May to verify the spawn. There were so many. I figured
that with only having the five Ottocats, the Zebra Pl*co and a Butterfly
Pl*co in this 30 gal, heavily planted tank, I would have a larger survival
count. Now there are maybe 4 or 5 fry. I was deeply dissapointed. There
went my breeder points. I was truly thinking of breaking the tank down and
starting again with a bare bottom tank. However, at 9:45 pm tonight I got
the pleasure to watch my pair lay and fertilise another clutch of 40 to 50
eggs! I have read the lists and numerous books on the whole affair, but
have never witnessed it first hand. I am reborn.
I just had to tell someone.
