I came home and to my surprise, my tiger barbs were breeding. In the process really. She was laying eggs and about 3 males were chasing her and doing their best to fertilize the young eggs.
As I was completely un-prepared for this spawning I didn't have a tank and all that setup so. I grabbed one of the larger microsword plants that had a good 40 - 50 eggs on it and quickly transplanted it into my tank with my neon tetras.
The neons mainly eat Betta food Along with the betta. I don't have the time to setup a grow out tank. I want to get them into a tank they have at lest a chance for, I have access to baby brine shrimp from a LFS that sells them at a half doze different sizes.
But here is what tanks I have access to try and raise a few of them in.
50G Planted - 11 ADULT tiger barbs, 5 inch rainbow shark, 6 inch pleco
10G Unplanted - 7 Neon Tetras, 1 Betta, 1 oto
5G Planted - Lightly - 2 Dwarf puffers, 1 oto.
I can get a breeding net of anyone thinks that would work, budgets not a problem. But I would really like to try and raise a few of the fry. I've done my homework and know what to feed and all that stuff, I planned to do this in a month or so after I've moved them to the 75G tank and be able to use the 50 as a grow out... dang horny fish.
On a good note, I got some pictures of her dropping the eggs I'll get them up as soon as I can find my cable for my camera.
