Comments

Eggs laid overnight. Most eggs found in or near a bamboo pipe (parents were also in pipe). Many eggs scattered around the tank. Eggs sucked up with turkey baster then incubated in a fry basket. Basket had a small mass of java moss. Babies kept in basket for about 2 months before release into parents' tank.
