Couple quick questions,
Lfc took a trip to a wholesaler today with free run of the building. Quick google search came up with panduro and pandini are one in the same? Is this true?

I unfortunately had to make a relivtivly hasty decision and pick up some extra pandini females on the bases of a the google search coming up as they where one in the same.

Also I have had my panduro's spawn 3 times since December and every time they have eaten the spawn? Any ideas?

panduro is indeed the same as pandurini, here you can find a very nice list from Mike Wise with the names of all the species plus the other names used for them:

I can't say for sure why your panduro's ate the spawns but if the water conditions are not right (KH too high) the eggs won't develop properly and that could be the cause. It's also sometimes a matter of experience I think, my T. candidi's for instance took 4 or 5 spawns before they managed to raise them to free swimming.

SUCCESS!!!! Free swiming fry today! must have been the female, I changed her out 2 weeks ago after she was still eating spawns. got sick of waiting i guess. had em since dec and no wigglers and or fry from the old female something wasn't right imo.
