Congrats, I was excited the first time I had eggs too. Now it's like aw crap more bloody eggs. I've got a flower pot full of wigglers in my main tank right now. Their tank mates like a live treat now and again. It's a fish eat fish world in that tank!!!

The adults are very aggressive when they have young. Watch they don't beat others to death. I have lots of crappy silk plants, pots and other rock work for hiding places, it seems to have helped with the aggression alot.

Today the babies are swimming around about 75% of the tank while the parents attack nah they do go after the other fish but only when they get really close!
