Got home, at 2:00pm, I took my water parameters, they all check out fine.
pH - 7.6
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10
I had somethings to do at around 6:30pm and left then, they looked like they were going to spawn very soon, but haven't yet. When I got home around 8:00pm, there they were just going to town on the lower part of my flower pot I sat in there for them. They dug a pit right under it so the fry can just fall straight into it. I couldn't count the eggs because everytime 3 secounds the male will block my view protecting the eggs, so I kept losing count
. I'm just going to wait till they hatch and count from there.
I was pretty excited too, it has not even been a week since i've gotten them, they must of liked the condtions. People said it is as easy as adding two convicts in some water, but this was really quick, quicker then my mollies. I'm excited to watch them be parents.
No deaths yet on fish, happy about that aswell, but once the eggs hatch, there prob. will be.
I did snap a video, but i'm leaving to a friends for the night, so i'll post it tomorrow sometime. No school because I got done with finals today. I didn't do mega great on them, but I passed haha.
Video will be up tomorrow, they are still spawning at the moment too, so no point of counting eggs anyways.

I just suck some of the pad into the little guard that was on it already, it works good, thanks for the idea. Yeah, I saw like 2-3 pits they could of picked from so I knew they were getting close, wonder why your's didn't do it this time.
