No. Fish update: Only ~12 babies of the 1st 50 made it. Since they were born 3 days a part there was a lot of cannibalism. I didn't have a means of separating them, anyway by the time I caught it it was too late. This time I removed one female with hers eggs to another tank with the same water. She's such a good mom she stayed in the flower pot with her eggs while I moved them. I thought I'd have to net her afterwards. I'm experimenting with water chemistry to see if and how it effects the babies. The fish come from an area with low PH, but during breeding season hard water from the montains drains into the rivers. Increasing the PH. In one tank I'm trying a slightly higher PH and a calcium additive. The mom I moved eggs are starting to hatch. There are 32 of them. They're about 50% bigger than her fist batch. I can't see the other mom's eggs but based on hoe she's behaving I know they're there. Over the weekend I picked up some rare catfish I'm gonna try to breed.
