Green severums spawned

[Michael Roth]

Yeah. First they killed a gold severum, and a green severum. Now there are two green severums and a gold. The gold hides a lot. There are eggs all over the back of my large rock, and the bad news is.... its in the same tank as the jardini, the marbled pim, and the sorubim lima. Long story short, any fry will rapidly become feeders.

 

[Dwarfs]

That's great news (eggs), but bad as well (death) I don't know what to think of this string of events

 

[Michael Roth]

Yeah, I have mixed feelings too. I have no problem with natural order...so I guess as long as the lima get the fry, alls fair. If the jardini does...well, hard to think of a south american jardini...

 

[Michael Roth]

here are the parents, and the eggs...

sorry about the bad glass and crappy angle, thats the back of the tank, and it took some work to get the pic.

wow... good job! how big are the sevs?? very nice also!

 

[Dwarfs]

They look proud Their colors are amazing (Most likely because they are in PROTECT SPAWN mode )

 

[dothedew]

Yeah, very nice colors.
If you want to keep the fry, try to get them into a breeding net if you can catch any.

 

[Fishy411]

you can put a ver small divider over that area to protect the eggs. Sounds like all your fish are to big to slip through eggcrate.

Why not buy a breeder net that sits on the side of the tank, i think you will be suprized at how many just will live because sevs are very good perants and they will defend there young till the death.
