[jason007]

[RustedKnight]

congratulations!!! You're an uncle..grandfather..step dad.. um...something along those lines.

does anyone know why they keep picking the fry up and moving them to diffrent parts of the tank

 

[KittyKat]

It is normal for them to move the fry often. They might also dig pits.

 

[I Keep Fish]

yeah they will move them about for lots of reasons, move out of the way of the flow, move where they think they'll be able to grab food easier. or literally cause they feel like it

Awesome!! Congrats on your extended family!

 

[jason007]

cheers all they are all doing well but they are so small its hard to see if they are eating or not. they look like grains of sand swimming around
cheers jason

 

[jason007]

Never mind, they should spawn again in a few weeks

Congrats and commiserations!
They must be really interesting to watch when they're in breeding mode. Hopefully they'll get the hang of it soon
