Woo hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The temperature in the tank has been 14C (57F) for the past two days. It was previously 10-12C. Maybe this did the trick??
Here is the whole tank setup. A small filter pushes water through the rock pile on the lower left. The eggs were mostly laid on the underside of the big flat rock at the upper right. They laid a total of 16 eggs.
In this shot are 3 eggs that were laid near the front of the rock (1 under the lower rock), easily seen:
In this shot, you can see the male (he was hanging out with the eggs... maybe to eat them?) and behind him a whole bunch of eggs on the underside of the rock:
I took the rock out and here is a photo of the eggs on the underside of it:
I gently removed the eggs from the rocks and put them in a pan of tank water. Now what? The caresheet for N. crocatus says the eggs must be kept in moving water. I may try keeping some in moving water, some in still water and see what happens.
