That actually made me lol! In all seriousness though, I think he's gone. I put algae wafers in to tempt him out last night, everyone else starting eating them but no sign of him. When I put the tank lights on, he didn't come out.
It's not all bad though, I have about 10 of his babies who are a month old and 17 who are a week old I think some are his from there some of them are light but we will see. I will keep a select few males from them if they resemble him which I hope they do.
