hi all!
here is an update about the A. rot punkt polygamous
behavior.
Finally the situation becomes more and more complictaed for
that poor male in charge of 3 famillies in the same time!
On the right of the tank is a female with wrigglers that will
be swimming tomorrow normally (who knows!). In the middle, the favorite female
which spawned yesterday. In the left corner a female with fry.
The male has a pretty busy schedule visiting all those females
and defending the territory which now is...the whole tank!. Nevertheless it
looks like it is paying more attention for the female whose fry is at a more
advanced stage (ie swimming in that case).
Since the preferred female is very insistent to have him
around her, i think he might give up soon protecting the 2 other
females.
Just an update as well concerning the fish for sell
list:
A. trifasciata F1 A. cacatuoides "triple red" A. mcmasteri "red neck" F1 A. viejita CF II F1 A. agassizi (wild CF) F1 N. anomala F1 Coming soon: A. borelli, A. willi, A. hongsloi, A.papagaio and Rot punkt take care
