I watched my T duboioi spawn today about one hour after the weekly water change i saw her take 4 eggs in her mouth but they were already started when i saw them so do not know how many she has .
this is the first time for me and do not know what to do any advice whould be appreciated.

How is the mouthful of fry going? If she is still holding now I would personally milk her in about a week or so when the fry are half developed. This gives her a chance to eat something and not lose too much condition.

Don't forget to pat yourself on the back!
And congrats on catching them at it.
Keep up the good work and keep an eye on mum to make sure she isn't copping too much grief.
DO you have another tank you can move her or the fry too?
if not could be time to think about building a frysaver

she not getting as big in the mouth as my E yellow did. I netted her out and she had eggs in there about a week ago but not sure now, its there first time so should have some more chances if she has lost them. But hopeing to see some fry come out of the rock pile.

Always good to see a few little feral youngsters in the rockpile.

So true, I missed an egg in a mouthful of demasoni a couple of months back and recently I noticed a little guy hanging around the sponge filter darting to the surface for food, so cute to watch.
