tomchitown

kids are gonna be ticked ....lol there went nemo.... what can i do to speed the cycle up on 29g

Shawnie

why ? you have enough space lol thought you wanted an ACTIVE tank ...you got one now hahah

fast cycle is a few options....media, subtrate, and deco from your exisiting or TSS and your family in the new tank ...still giggling

tomchitown

lol, i knew something was up ... mom and dad jumped big oscar so then i looked and saw eggs

aquarist48

Are you passing out cigars?

Shawnie

or better, bloodworms!!!

tomchitown

lol, i was expecting the dempseys to spawn first... but that goes to show how much i know

Shawnie

not a matter of knowing, its a matter of muscles..the dempseys will now loose theirs

tomchitown

i've been feeding them brine shrimp the last few days .... with my luck everybody in the tank will spawn except the oscars ... i noticed other 2 female convicts are getting fat and colorfull

Shawnie

the orange on their bellys will get very very bright prior to spawning...they will dig and dig and dig pits over and over ...im sure you know all this now...and you better pray the others dont spawn at the same time..you will have a major war LOL

tomchitown

i'm preparing ...lol thats exactly whats going on now with 1 pair of convicts ...they're at opposite ends of the tank so i hope that helps

Ok after watching closer ...... it's 5 females and 2 males ......eggs are everywhere and a war in my tank
