Unintentional spawning triggered, lol

My power went out today for about 4 hours. The temp in my 75 gallon dropped from 78.8 to 77.2. Power came back on tank went up to 78.8 again.
Lights out around 8:15 (digital timer with +/- 15 minutes. I just walked by and the male tiger barbs are chasing the ladies around trying to get some. The cories are also in the mood as they keep forming "T"s (I believe this is what they do when spawning.)

The loaches are sleeping through it all. They are all packed behind a log in the corner, they are all vertical facing up... ready for takeoff.

The hatchets are swimming in single file avoiding all of the hanky panky below.

It was humorous the last time the cories spawned. some eggs ended up in the coconut cave where the cories live. The clown loaches where going in one at a time and eating some and then then leave and another loach would go in.

No point to this post, just thought I'd share

Are going to make any attempt to keep them?

Lucky you! Ive been trying to get my corys to spawn!!!

are you up to raising fry at all? or just watch and see what happens?

Thanks! Right now I do not have the time/space to raise fry. Maybe in a few months I'll try. Right now it's just a free meal for them!

Congrats! That is pretty funny. If all the eggs start hatching around the same time maybe some fry from one type will live, after all thats a lot of fry haha
