Re: Maulbruter... Help!

Well, success everyone.  I took the other two fish out without a hassle.
Now we play the waiting game.  I've been observing her and does this
routine..she goes inside a cave, I think she drops them (fry), than comes
out and eats...than, she quickly goes back in the cave and comes out with a
mouthful... very interesting to watch. I hope now that the other two are out
she will herd the fry. :-)
