My geophagus brasiliensis have just finished with laying their first clutch, the female was laying a bunch of eggs at a time, the male fertilised them then the female scooped them into her mouth, which is a little different to what I've read. I was under the impression that the eggs were laid on some kind of flat suface, covered in sand for a couple of days then the male would scoop them up and guard them, so my question is, has something gone wrong or was the info I had wrong. If they are on track and doing what they should be, how long before I see the little 'uns? Any special care needed?
