well they've had up 2 4 spawns with no fry.. i've only seen one spawn with eggs and ik they had at least one more ... mayb he's sterile or something tho. i definately wasnt expecting my firemouths to spawn but they did and its real cool. they still have there egg sacks and they're like vibrating. i guess there about 2 days old mayb...
