Spawning notes:

Species Spawned:   Yes

Spawned several times for both of us. Eggs have been stripped each time but they have always gone bad. Currently have 1 female holding. Will not be stripping her hoping that artificial tumbling has been the cause of the eggs going bad. Currently on 2nd day of holding eggs.
