Happy Accident

[Arget]

Well, I found this when I was moving my Glowlights and half of my BN plecos to make room for Bleeding Hearts and Angels.



I knew I had a male, but from what I can see, I think I ended up with three females. Lucky boy!

AW!!! Congrats!

Make sure to cover the intakes, those little guys will go right in on purpose to clean tasty goodies.

Buy them a cave!!! Need privacy, lol .

They're in a piece of driftwood. I found them when I was moving some Glowlights and half of the BN plecos to another tank. I'd picked up the driftwood, and happened to see the eggs and a hatchling or two. I put it back down, then after I was done moving everyone I got my camera and picked it up, only for as long as it took to take the pictures. The driftwood is curved, and they found a hollow spot to spawn in. I've got a 75g sponge filter in the tank, it's a Blackwater tank, so no strong currents allowed!

The little babies are SOOOOO cute!

Update: Free swimming fry. I've counted two so far. Current stock- Male BN Pleco, female BN Pleco, unknown number of free swimming fry. Tank info, 55g Blackwater, has IAL and driftwood.
