Little Momma firemouth with her eggs

[DragonFish71]

So the other day I was sitting and watching my firemouths when I noticed Little Momma eyeballing a leaf. I looked closer and found her and Little Daddy had finally spawned so I got some pictures. As I was taking these, I noticed some of the eggs were vibrating, I was watching them hatch. I don't know how to shoot video with my camera, but it was very cool watching it.

I thought I'd share some pictures of LM with her eggs.

Thanks

First time I've actually been able to catch pics of the eggs and watch them hatching.

Your lucky as my firemouths are afraid of their own shadows, much less talk to girls.

You did a good job taking those pictures. How long until they are adult size?

Ha, only my pairs show off, the other guys try to stay hidden.

Thanks,

One year to adulthood, two-ish until breeding age. This set of parents are 2 1/2 years old and have just started spawning in the last few months.

Their parents were also two when they started spawning and are still at it.
