Hi,
Just getting some fish ready to ship tonight and have tipped an L260 out of it's cave .......... followed by several fry !! I am absolutely astonished, as I never witnessed any courting behaviour what so ever.
I have been growing this group on for almost a year and have some Electric Blue Jack Dempsey young in the tank with them. I could really kick myself as the escapees were soon gobbled up. I have around seven left in the cave.
Question..... Do I put the young in a breeding trap on their own, or would it be better to put dad in there too ? I'm worried that dad may turn cannibal after being disturbed.
I just can't get my head round this, as I usually check first ....... bleedin typical !
All advice greatly appreciated.
Elaine
PS : I'm off for a coffee, to calm down LOL !
