This morning a few more of the eggs were white, and the angels were picking at them, with bits of white scattered around the tank- I thought I was going to have to get the siphon out to clean up, but the four kuhlis ranged around eating stuff. M Beautiful struck hard and drove them away when they got close to her leaf. Just a few hours later I looked again, and the angels had torn nearly all the eggs off the leaf. Most of it is just shreds there- only about five good eggs still left on one side.
I don't know if the fungus spread that fast, or they just got over-zealous in cleaning off the bad stuff, or what. Much later in the day, I only saw one good egg left, the angels aren't guarding wigglers anywhere else, and seem to have lost interest in the leaf. Oh well.
I tried to take a few photos of Skye head-on, his now crooked jaw, but it doesn't show very well. Saw him stretch his mouth out very far once, right after the accident. Pretty astonishing how far it can extend.
