No picture this update but I did fine some fuzzy white eggs.(found around 4 fuzzy eggs out of the 20+) The whole egg was white and fuzzy, is this because they are unfertilized, moldy/old.. or another reason?
Typically with tropical fish, unfertilized eggs go bad. You might try to remove them from the rest so the fungus doesn’t spread to all of them.

1:38 AM Pictures update! Best pictures I got so far and I am completely clueless with using macro on my digi. But here goes
.These are my oldest fry.
The Freeswimmers.
The Freshly hatched.
Crazy dog :S.
I found a few dead fry they were not freeswimming yet but at the young stage that they still clung to the glass or plants. I am unsure why but they were very tiny than the others who are at least a bit bigger. I would think maybe they were just the runts who died.
I also moved the 20+ fry to a 5 gallon hexagon tank. Also I realized I have not seen any spawnings in a while now, and have not found any eggs in the past week or so? Any ideas?
Hi DarrylR!
You might want to get some sponge pre-filters for the intakes on those hob filters. They will keep the fry from getting sucked into the filter.

Yuppers I put sponges on the intake filters the same day
.I found out that the CPDS will spawn in a baseball sized amount of java moss instead of the basketball size that used to be in there. I guess give them some sort of plants and they will get jiggy in it.
Rescaped the tank:
It has been a while since an update, of around the 20+ fry I put into the 29 which were free swimming to freshly hatched either they are hiding or eaten by the bigger fry or just died. But I do have the first 3 older fry that now has coloring and seems to be all female and about 10 more smaller fry.
Also my CPD breeding tank has not spawned in a while now, and it seems because I am not feeding any live BBS only variable I have not been doing lately.
Ohhh. That’s really sad.
But at least you haven’t lost all of the fry. I have just obtained some CPD myself and am here gaining as much information about them as I can.
