Hi,
I keep my borellii fry with their parents as long
as I can. I had four generations of fry with parents until new free
swimming fry (4th generation) started disappearing. After I moved
most of the older fry to 10G, the trio spawned again. The older fry
that are still remaining in the breeding tank keep a good distance from
their little siblings since they get chased a bit here and there by the two
mothers. My heavily planted tank also offers a lot of hiding places for older
fry.
In 10G fry tank, I found barely three month old
females guarding a small number of fry. It was totally unexpected!
Must be all those live food I've been feeding to them.
