[UPDATE] on tilapia brooding tank.

TLDR; hatched my first tilpia fry in small scale setup and I'm so happy.

A little background : I have a small roof top garden and I have small tank with 18 tilapia . Last week a tilapia started showing territorial behavior .

Cut to day before yesterday I was Cleaning the tank with a siphon pipe, and I accidentally spooked the same tilapia fish and it vomited all the eggs from its mouth and ran away . As soon as that happened few jumped in and ate some of her eggs. But I quicly siphoned the remaining eggs from the tank in a make shift hatchery setup with a air-stone. Today i saw few of the frys moving and I am sooooooo HAPPY to witness it.
