are those eggs from the babies?
yes! those are the ones that wouldn't fit in the male's mouth! not sure they're viable but I'll keep bubbling them.

I think there are two pairs in the frag tank

A couple of them look like they may be, at least in my experience with freshwater fish eggs. Several do look like duds.

The egg-mass was stuck to the top of the bubbler this morning. I've never had much success bubbling... I'll wait 2 weeks then strip him.

Turn the air down some. They should gently bounce... If the water is passing over them it may be ok that they're at the top but I'd assume it's too much flow. Are they still yellow or turning white?

@Projects with Sam thank you for the care package! Ordering from your website was super easy and the 1.5 inch strainers are perfect! And thanks for the extras. Love the frag holders!

Thanks! Those were some of the last prints on my un-updated printers; I'm able to get better quality now. I may give you 2 of the updated ones next time I see you in-person as a point of pride!
Its like when you do yardwork and you get one section of your yard looking really nice... makes the rest look wanting.

I found cheap BL Touch sensors that work ok so have been updating my printers. So far I have the Ender3 Pro 400, an Ender 3 Pro, and now my CR-10 updated. I am adding direct drive extruders with down-sized steppers (weight) where I can.
All of this requires I compile Marlin for each printer.
Wondering if I should have just did the jump to Klipper for input shaping.

I also upgraded the CR-10 Motherboard to a BTT SKR Mini E3 v2 and touchscreen display.
