Thanks Donna and Poffman.  A few more just because they are so cute.  Those pleco eggs are already spread out and wiggling around the breeder box.

This is one of the fry from the pics in the photos above.  

The same female held another brood and did the same thing -- she would not spit them, so I had to separate her and she still wouldn't release them.

I ended up having to strip them out.  Like before, they had fully absorbed their egg sacks and some of them were very weak and didn't make it.  A few did though.

I don't have an empty fry tank, so I'm keeping them in breeder boxes.  

There are three females holding right now and I really hope they release into the main tank.

The dominant male is looking good.

Subdominant male.

They are busy!  I don't want any more.  : 
I wish that one girl would spit hers in the tank. I can't put them back into the tank if I strip them.
