From the first spawn 3 fry survived and are doing fine.
I now have a second spawn of one of the females that spawned before, a few weeks ago. So these eggs are "fresh".
The male took care of the eggs for 3 days and this morning he was out of his cave and the eggs were also kicked out. I didn't touch the eggs but scooped them up with a small cup and placed them in an egg tumbler. When I just looked (got home from work) I saw that of 80% off the eggs was leaking or the yolk sack was coming trough the eggshell... The fry are premature, two of them hatched already.
Does any one breed Hypancistrus Inspektor (L102) and experience this same problem of fragile eggs?
What worked for you to keep the eggs from damaging?
Any help would be appreciated.
