My Jags laid eggs this weekend. They are guarding them like crazy. Looks like 3/4 of them I would guess are fertilized. There are about 300 eggs.

It is pretty awesome! :D

They didn't waste any time did they? What helped the most, Sinatra or tequila? :wink:

I can't figure out what went wrong. This morning I came and all the eggs are gone. The jags are still protecting the nest very intensely (is that a word!?) but the eggs are gone and I do not see any fry.

My fry seem to have disapeared. I am thinking one of two things. The female has moved them into a clay pot that I can not see the inside of.

Either that or they got sick of me. I will keep everyone posted.


I am hoping that the pleco didn't get em.

There are probably 500 free swimming beautiful little jaguarfry in the tank this morning!!! :D

I am going to pick up a 25 gallon to raise them up. Anybody have any idea how long I will have to grow them and how much I can sell the fry for?

That's great to hear Rudy! We expect to see some pics...

Is a 25 going to be large enough to even begin to growout 500 jag fry?

Rudy

I probably won't keep all 500 maybe 150 would be a little more manageable I would say.

Ah, snack time in the 180...?

Actually I found a good recipe for jag fry on the net. I may try it out.
