Well, after much ado... and me being a complete nervous wreck over this breeding.. ( as Karen had to listen to my despair and help me out.. )
Drake and Rosie have spawned and we have eggs in the bubblenest!
Rosie is now back in her tank and Drake is doing his daddy thing keeping any eye on things. He was so OCD over the bubblenest and totally ignored Rosie eating so many eggs today that I thought it would never work.
BUT.. after giving up, I noticed that Drake was chasing Rosie away from the nest and I took the magnifying glass and lo and behold there are eggs in there!
Now.. praying that they come to fruitation!
Here is a video clip of the 'embrace'. Have to say that Drake was a complete sweetheart and left no marks or torn fins on Rosie at all.
Please wish Drake and Rosie luck!
