| inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003 | Not sure how often they spawn actually. If she spat them and you saw the eggs, you should have tried to artificially tumble them |

| r0b3y Enthusiast Posts: 261 Kudos: 262 Votes: 41 Registered: 07-Nov-2004 | nah didnt see the eggs.. just no mouthful anymore.. should it take three week for the female to successfully raise the eggs? r0b3y |

| inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003 | I believe its typically 21-28 days for most mouth brooders. Usually they're free swimming after about 2 1/2 weeks. |
