L201 Spawn

Nice! Update with more pics if you can.

Every time that I count. I get a different number. Somewhere between 12 and 18.  They are basically eating rapashy and the biofilm on the pearwood slivers.

I keep playin music and they keep hooking up.  Taken a month after the first pics.

TDS under 100, 10% water changes daily for the past week, and fresh zuk or cucumber available all day long.  PH at about 6.8 with lots of maple and pear wood to chew on as well.  I toss in a block of daphnia in the morning and they get the remaining rapashy from the juvies.  Honestly, I was trying to get my cories to spawn.

Good old fashioned Augusta tapwater run through an RO system.  I think it comes out of the tap at TDS just shy of solidifying and ph is somewhere high enough to kill African Cichlids.  I fill two two gallon buckets for spares, leave a half dozen oak leaves in each for flavoring, and toss a capful of Aquarium Coop plant fertilizer in.  I check my water chemistry probably once every six months.  My fish load in my 90 is somewhere around three inches of fish per gallon.  I run a substrate of four inches of sand, keep a couple blocks of maple for the wood chewers to gnaw on.  I run an FX4 with a 2x5 sponge block on the intake, crack the filter open every six months or so.  I top off water as needed.  Every second week I do a three bucket, 7 and a half gallon partial water change, and feed twice a day with a cube of frozen daphnia and a half dozen sticks of bug bites.  I try to keep a chunk of cucumber or zuchini sunk on the bottom when I can get it.  Basically, I overload the tank with fish, feed em heavy, run a fairly big filter and don't mess much with micromanaging.  I have seven small plecos, two dozen random tetras, three apistos, two keyhole cichlids, and at best guess two dozen cories.  Hard to do a fish census, I plant it heavily and some fish I only see every couple of months.  When I test water conditions, I always get zero on ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite.
