Good to hear from you! That's a great trick, I always figured that cherry shrimp would eat the eggs. No matter what the fish, I still enjoy finding eggs, and watching the fry that come out of them.

I think I didn't feed them the right things. then when they spawned again, I removed the eggs and put them in my cherry shrimp tank. The shrimp kept the eggs clean, and my kids and I actually watched the little guys break out of their eggs and sprial down and head for the marimo balls. they survived just fine in the shrimp tank and after a few months they were big enough to move back into the "big tank". I think there was just the right amount of "something" in the marimo balls for them to eat and thrive on.

Blaise, thanks for adding that. He listed quite a few triggers, that I couldn't get them all down in my notes. Thanks Guys! Blaise, thanks for adding that.

That's one of the conventions that every year I'm hoping to get down to, and have yet to make it fit into my schedule. I’m glad you got to hear Eric in Raleigh, Jason.

It was easily one of the best talks at the event - informative, easy to listen to, and pitched at about the right level for most participants. I'm hoping more local clubs try to get Eric in for a talk and am glad that CCA managed it. Eric gave much the same presentation at the big convention in Raleigh, NC, earlier this year.
