Isnt that a bit unusual after only 21 days??? I find this quite common, in fact my Bristlenose always seem to have the first batch and then the secnd usually comes along about 14-20 days later all the time, usually the first batch is a small one and the second batch of eggs is often in the 60 - 70's. Raise your glasses and hands..... Mark it on the calendar and see how often it happens Congratulations... Lj | |

| I agree. It seems once they start they don't stop. I have just sold my first lot of babies and I counted them out as I sold them. There were 94! I've had them in a 2' tank since they hatched in October and they were about 1.5 " when I sold them. I couldn't keep up with filtering and water changes any more so was glad they have gone but I accidentally left two in the tank. Good luck with yours. | |
