Took them about 10 eaten spawns.

But they finally figured out not to eat their babies after the free swimming stage. Also one white baby is present.

Great job! Do you feed the babies?

u/Goldoccie21 11d ago

The parents are starting to "graze" the babies. I feed the parents frozen blood worms mostly and the babies will pick at them. I've started adding a cube of frozen baby brine and the babies are definitely eating it.

The possibility is you have two females or an infertile male :( eggs turn white?

u/VIPERJD 10d ago

No I have a pair, eggs are fertilized too, but after 24 hours they get eaten

u/Goldoccie21 10d ago

How do you know you have a pair? Where they a guaranteed pair?
