    I added a tiiiiny female red scooter to my tank about a week ago and hoped she would hook up with my resident male I've had for almost a year. I thought it would take awhile as she's very young, and like the size of the male's head.

    Well, it worked!! They are already spawning! It is so cute!! :love:

    The only problem is allll they do is spawn, and when I'm feeding I can't get their attention to eat some shrimp! I just ordered a huge load of pods because of this. Lol

    Just wanted to share - as I'm really excited about it!

    For UPDATE scroll down a couple posts!!

    Hey KC! Great job with the scooters, I would recommend checking out and joining the MBI, a breeder net put out by my reef club for MASNA. I'm sure you can find plenty of fry raising juournals and spawn reports to help. And hey, post one yourself and help others plus get cool awards!
    This has helped me a lot in my breeding endeavor in shrimp snails cardinals et.

    Haha thanks guys! I'll try to get pictures. She's hard to track down - but I'll do my best! Maybe I can try to get a picture of them spawning.
