Nice photos mate, my lad is holding as well but no sign of any thing yet. She hides when I go near the tank so no photos at the mo.

Yeah defo does look like she's holding so good luck. My female yellow lab has released her fry and I can see one is surviving under one of my rocks and none of the other fish can get to him which is good, i'm hoping there's more amongst all my rocks

Hi,

She's probably aerating those eggs in her mouth, gently moving them around - it can look a bit like she's chewing, doesn't it? That "rum pum pum pum" thing you mentioned is a pretty common sign of her keeping them oxygenated.

Lovely pics of her holding, by the way. Has she released them yet?
